IS IT WORTH IT TO WRAP TURBO HEADERS JUST WONDERING

 

 

It always is to get the best thermal effeciency.

 

Header wrapping keeps heat in which is good for the engine bay and parts that might be around it, BUT at the same time it is putting alot more stress on the header itself which could cause cracking.

Wow that was a long sentence

i believe they are called "run-on" sentences lol

 

It keep the gas at a higher enthalpy which is good for spooling your turbo at the cost of more stress on the manifold.

 

you dont have a header wat u have is an exhaust manifold and yes u could wrap it in heat wrap i think it cost about 15$ a roll i got mine frrom nopi

it is termanology douche. so you say i just got a header for my turbo?

 

turbos run on heat.. duhh we all know this..
the first thing i did on my old ek was wrap it..
hope it all goes well

 

its the exact opposite of a condom. What are your trying to not burn/melt/destroy?

imo i would wrap the AC lines if you have them in the insulation(shiny metallic) wrap. Other wise take off plastics close to it, dont use rubber hoses for your oil feed and return lines if you are worried about it.

No **** it's just terminology, call it a header or a manifold, either is correct you dumb ****.
