Can you verify this Sasha?

I have a turbo blanket from my Powerlab top mount that I was thinking of using and I will be wrapping my x-over pipe for sure and probably down pipe.
Sasha told me that he has not had any reported heat related issues. However I know of some low mount turbo setups that have had heat releated issues. O&G roasted a WG line leading to his bent rod and ultimate motor build. In his case he wrapped everything that was touching but not everything in line of sight.

I'm more worried about heat build up while on the dyno for tunning. We should get good enough airflow on the road to keep things cool. All that being said I'm an engineer, we double up on everything!
