Heat wrap
Just wondering if people sudjest to heat wrap the up pipe before installing it ?
does it matter i know original one has heat shields around it everywhere. but should i wrap new one before putting it in.. ?? THanks Tim |
yes, the turbo will spool earlier with wrapped up-pipe
|
including headers? i've been told they will crack if you heat wrap?
|
i wrapped mine :D
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... :confused: ;) Just try not to cross rivers/run through "large" puddles then park your car... |
well they have that plastic shield under the bay anyway....
|
for when u said coat it wid VHT... U mean the coloured spray paint or is there a special clear?
