Default 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?

^^^^------ grossss

Heat wrap will smoke and burn off when you first put it on. Has a real nasty smell to it too. Give it a while to burn in and you'll be fine.

That bitch is ugly. wouldn't touch her even with a stick. (sorry I hope it'S not your GF )

back to your car 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.
