Yeah Sean,
That wrap has been around for a while now. They even have turbo wraps which phyically wraps the turbo. The wrap is like insulation. Its job is to keep HOT air in. So wrapping the turbo and the pipe from the turbo to the FMIC is the beat solution for any turbo setup. Sure it doesn't look pretty, but it helps alot. Wrapping the pipe from the FMIC to the intake manifold is backwords. If anything this pipe should be sticking out of the hood. Wrapping them would just trap the heat that it picks up from the engine bay, whereas normally the pipe can disperse the heat as the air travels through the pipe.

Heres a pic of turbo wrap


Think of it this way Sean. You have a ice cooler sitting on the ground. Nice and cold. Next to it is an electric heater to warm up the room. With your theory, you should wrap the ice cooler. That would trap the air and melt the ice. In this true scenario, you should wrap the electric heater and keep all the hot air inside the heater. The heater would heat the air and the ice cooler alot slower this way. The other way, the heater still heats the cooler just as fast, and now the cooler cant disperse its heat either.


Granted, I would have run my pipes differently, but the heat wrap is a great idea.
