exhaust wrap on your charge pipes? are you using al or steel? i think they leave al exposed to dissipate heat..

you know it might be worth your while to keep it exposed, thats unless you think your ic brings your charge temp to ambient, which i doubt. the reason being while youre moving, underhood temps are pretty close to ambient. so instead of letting moving air cool the pipes youre holding it in with that wrap. youre better off using it to wrap the manifold to aid in spool and just make a heatshield between the turbo and any piping.

I would run your boost line at least to a fitting on the charge piping near the thottle body, since you have an external wastegate. that should do the trick.
