Heat Management / Header Wrap (also for your turbo guys)

[Maengelito]

the wrap should be fine. its better that you replace the wrap and possibly the various plumbing pieces if the wrap somehow leads to significant deterioration of your exhaust pipes as opposed to temp spikes on track and blowing up the motor again

wrap can cause problems... taken from G Donovan's <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thedodgegarage.com">www.thedodgegarage.com</a><!-- w -->

On my turbo cars we had wrapped the exhaust manifold and turbo. Now Thermo-Tec notes this is a bad thing (wrapping the exhaust manifold) and they are correct. It results with a warped, cracked exhaust manifold that flexes so much it snapped the #1 exhaust stud right out off the head...and barbecued the turbocharger too. Proceed at your own risk

this is the "turbo database" from Donovan's site. It is full on info on TDs but has a ton of in general type turbo stuff.
