EXHAUST WRAP and Tune Should I need to tune the new "velocity/spool" generated after I wrap the exhaust? or am I good to wrap it and stay in vacuum until we get tuning complete? or does it even need tuned after the wrap?

the only thing you will get by wrapping the exhaust would be some sooner RPM into boost, which if you are set to come into fuel when it comes into boost (MAP based) then you will be fine. Just watch your AFR to be safe

IMO, if you are spooling the turbo quicker/faster then you will be making boost sooner as well, so your particular fuel cell you had tuned before will move down in the RPM range. Depending how much of a difference the wrap has made in your spooling time. Keep an eye on your AFR and this will tell you what you need to do.

the good thing to do is just CHECK YOUR AFR and SEE.
