Wrapping a cast manifold or header is definitely NOT RECOMMENDED. I do
know of at least one Pro-Rally guy though that does wrap the cast Audi
Turbo manifold and also wraps the entire hot side of the turbo with a
metallic blanket. I would have thought that this would mean sure and
rapid death, but so for it is working OK. He claims that the performance
improvement is very real. I will NOT be testing this on *MY* car!
I would be VERY interested in hearing any theories on how wrapping the
exhaust after the turbo will improve performance..... (turbo applications
ONLY)
