heat wrap
Just got done on the 14b setup on my 93 accord, and the oil return from the turbo is so close to the dp that i put some heat wrap on it. Anyone ever get heat wrap that smokes? unless im just being blind and can't find a oil leak or, the return line is melting. what do you guys think?
Give it a while to burn in and you'll be fine.

Why not heat wrapping the downpipe instead of the oil return hose
Yes it's true, heat wrap smells bad when you put it on a manifold or dp but on a oil return, it shouldn't smell anything. if it does, just make sure it's not wet with oil. Have a look in between the CHRA and turbine housing. if it'S oily there, the turbine seal may be pissing a bit of oil on the wrap job and it will smoke forever.

Re: heat wrap
na, sorry wasn't to clear on where i put the heat wrap but its on the dp not the return. but... yeah it stoped smoking after about a day on there. but damn that ---- scared the ---- out of me i was having problems with oil leaks left and right and blew a turbo from it. but that heat wrap is doing the trick so i don't mind the smell
