i havent actually no. its just for the downpipe to take away some of the heat as its getting far too heat soaked in this warmer weather.

might look into that over winter broster. will get some heat wrap stuff for now however try and compensate them temps. its the charge pipe, intercooler to plenum thats getting hot and causes boost cut as inlet air temp sensor is at the end of the plenum.

I think you should arm yourself with a charge cooler Nic. And while you're at it, wrap your exhaust with some Thermotec wrap.

It's the bollocks Nic. What isn't the bollocks is when you smash fuck out of your down pipe on a massive hidden dip/bump in the road and ruin about fifty quids worth of the stuff.

yeah going to wrap that pipe also with the exhaust wrap. have done the hideous raised bonnet mod which will help get rid of the heat a fair bit.

Dei heatwrap on my car. A lot of the scooby people say it is the best. Certainly no issues with mine so far.

DEI is the best on the market, they sell a sealer to go with it too.
