Default Heat wrap

How well does wrapping the exhaust for less lag work?

Heat wrap keeps the heat in the pipes and helps with spooling up the turbo(exhaust will be hotter inside but cooler outside the wrapping), also keeps temps down in the engine bay and around important stuff like wires, radiator, anything plastic etc etc etc....hope this helps

Hotter gas has a greater volume per a given mass, so more volume= more RPMs of the turbine.

Try search... we have gone over this subject 100's of times.

Not being a dick but there is tons of good data out there... Yes.. wrapping will help lag problems for rear-mount turbos.
