i didnt want to over do it with the wrap. it keeps the heat in, but also dosnt let it out to cool. so i only wraped the parts of the piping that get hot to the touch.

I'd guess you'd want to make sure you only wrap the parts of the pipe where the heat transfer is the most negative; but here I question your choice of which section of the pipe to tape over.

The pipe coming out of the turbocharger should be hot to the touch- it's from the turbo fan blades heating up the air- I don't think wrapping it would help much since there's enough heated air on the inside already to make the heat transfer just from hot to hotter.

Then it goes through the FMIC and gets cold- and then it goes over the engine to the intake manifold. The thermal transfer on that section of piping can only be from hot (engine bay) to inside the pipe (cold air from the FMIC)

If anything, I'd reverse the wrapping- or you might want to wrap the underside of the FMIC->intake mani pipe; that way cool air through the GT4 vent gets to the pipe still; but most of the heat from the engine is blocked off.
