Default Good Idea or bad

I have an STS kit on my car and was wondering if it would be a good idea to heat wrap the y-pipe and the pipe to the turbo. What kind of diff. can this make on spool time.

They were just talking about this... cant remember where, thought it was here. They claimed that it made a world of difference to keep the heat in the pipe so when it hits the turbo it's still hot. Wouldn't hurt to wrap them, and see the results.

Here are two threads that have some great discussion regarding the STS system, header wrap, paints and stock manifolds....both are listed here on page one as well.
