I think you'd be better off making a heat shield you could bolt to it or around it. Thats my plan. Wrapping is a pain in the ****.

I wonder who does the best thermal coating? I did some massive research into it several years ago and came up with a company that did it but their coating was white of all things. I cannot remember who it was to save my life though.

LOL swine tech... oink oink...
Swaintech is renowned for their coatings, and anyone who knows anything wouldnt mind the white color knowing they have the best thermal coating on the market. If you want that JDm BlanG BlANg NeO CHRoME hotness then you need to find a company without racing pedigree...

i have a guy in town i took mine to. this is a synapse turbo manifold i had made a while back had it treated locally. synapse and the person who heat treated my mainfold both agreed that using heat wrap was a no no. although synapse turbo isnt around, they wouldnt warrant the manifold if it was heat wrapped.

I used the titanium lava rock wrap that DEI makes. Its a lil bit expensive compared to regular ceramic wrap but it doesn't have to be wetted when applied and it looks great if you take your time. I can drive the car down the highway, pull over and lay my hand on the manifold briefly. I am sure that's not the case during a hard pull but, it keeps the engine bay very cool for a turbo car. I wrapped my manifold, had my turbine housing coated along with a turbo blanket, and wrapped my downpipe along with the wastegate dump.

I've used heat wrap, it worked OK. Today I'd probably just coat it though. If you do wrap it, watch out for those stainless steel ties as they are sharp as **** and they will cut you gooood.
