     I thought about doing this to my exhaust manifold. I ended up not 
     doing it due to concerns with excessive heat. JetHot coating and 
     cermic coatings are used to insulate parts so they will retain more 
     heat? I would be concerned about heat soaking the turbo and head if 
     the manifold was insulated? What's your theory?
     
     I am planning on fabricating heat shields to fit between the inlet and 
     exhaust manifolds and to try and isolate the hot and cold sides of the 
     turbo. May even cut some holes in the bonnet.
