yes, the turbo will spool earlier with wrapped up-pipe

i believe you should heat wrap it.. i cant see it cracking with the heat wrap i can only see it cracking without the heat wrap |

u'll get quicker spool up with wrapped header...
AFAIK, heat wrap traps moist, its the moist that will crack the header up. Spray it with a can of VHT after u wrapped it should help a little I guess |

hotter is betterer...
as for the moisture issue, any guesses on what the surface temp is of your headers and up-pipe when the car is running, especially after being driven hard? I reckon it would be higher than the boiling point of water... Just try not to cross rivers/run through "large" puddles then park your car...
