Like I said above, I HAVE USED THE HEADER WRAP!, Not just guessing what could happen. In my opinion and experience, The exhaust wrap won't keep extra heat in the engine, it keeps the header and exhaust from transfering heat into the engine compartment. Also, why would a Turbo engine require header wrap, and not a normally aspirated? Maybe we need to run a few test with a head temp gauge and oil temp gauge, with and without header wrap. Anybody interested? See ya Scott Morrow Kansas City, MO smorrow@gbutler.com
