There are for and against turbo wrapping.

Yes: To reduce heat up time and keep exhaust energy high. Reduce turbo 'lag'.

No: Will cause the turbo to have shorter life...more heat to oil...more heat to coolant....increased fastener failure due to thermal overloading.......no measurable increase in power...total waste of time.

For a street car you just need a heat shield to stop radiating heat . Wrapping has not proved to be effective unless your running Le Mans.

WARNING: Wrap around the turbo/headers/down pipe will be a fire hazard if the wrap becomes soaked in oil. It WILL catch fire...ask me how I know.
