As far as AC
The AC line in my car is right by the turbo, its rapped but still its very close. It blows pretty warm, but it hasnt been recharged for a while. Will it ever blow cold, or because its so close to the hot *** turbo will it always be warm?
I'm asking becuase I still havent sold my other car so I cant get a beater to drive daily and its hot as hell in the afternoons.

Re: As far as AC (DaX)
summit sells it. I wrapped my lines with that also. It's good up too 2000 ambient temps, which is as long as it dosen't touch the wrap it should be good.

Aight, I will have to see how much I need, but I'll probably just get the larger sheet to be on the safe side. I need to wrap all my AC lines.

use regular header wrap and then cover it with aluminum foil tape, you can buy it at home depot in the ducting department.
cheap and effective

Re: (Turbo E 604)
I've heard of people just using the aluminum tape stuff from home depot etc, but the stuff I found had no heat rating on it, not sure if it could withstand engine bay heat....

Thanks for the bright idea captain. Do you really think that, given the text in my original post, I would concider taking it out if itd work? No. Becuase its hot, and 70lbs doesnt mean **** to me when Im hot. When Im hot, being cold is the only thing that matters. Don't be a bandwagoner, 'delete AC, delete ps' etc etc. Useless post.

the 12x12 sheet is THE-13500 $9.88
the 12x24 sheet is THE-13575 $17.88</TD></TR></TABLE>
That stuff seems to be the best since it not only withstands a lot of heat, but its got a self adhesive backing. I'll probably use that to cover my AC lines.
Thanks everyone!

I am using a lovefab welded sidewinder. Here is my plan for the radiator hose [I'm going to do a full writeup with pictures when I do it]:
Stock hose with a piece of 1.25" OD stainless steel pipe in it where it crosses the manifold. I'm also going to wrap it in some heavier duty wrap than this stuff that I got from McMaster-Carr. The PN is 9379K93 and it's about $13 for a roll of it that is 12 feet long [it's 3" wide and 1/2" thick]. It's heat rating is -50*F to +2300*F ...I think it will work. I also bought a roll of aluminum tape to essentially make it one solid piece and tape over the cracks. Hope this helps.

Here is what the site says about it:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">High-Temperature Pipe and Tube Wrap
• Temperature Range: -50° to +2300° F
• Heat Flow Rate: 0.25 Btu/hr. x in./sq. ft. @ 75° F
This durable wrap not only withstands extreme heat, it also has excellent sound absorption and resists tears. Made of white alumina-silica based ceramic fibers with an aluminum jacket, it's unaffected by hydrocarbons and water and resists most chemicals. Use this UV-resistant material indoors and out.</TD></TR></TABLE>
I'm sure the aluminum jacket rejects most of the radiation heat, but after feeling the silica insulation, I'm sure it will resist plenty of contact heat. Just to be safe I'm using that piece of stainless steel tube where it crosses the manifold. I think this combination of stuff will work quite well.

Lose the AC. If you get hot, just buy a slurpee
