Should wrap the flex coupler or leave it unwrapped?

Searched up images instead.



Found that for a subaru. Not sure if it is a good idea considering it is the part that bends which can loosen up the wrap.

You should be fine either way.

Anybody ran a turbo blanket on this? Or does it degrade too quickly from seeing the elements?

I don't know if anybody has, and I don't know if moisture would deteriorate those things at all. The heat from turbo would dry them off in a hurry even if they did get wet.

I always felt like those things would trap a lot of heat after the car has been turned off. Don't know if there would be negative impact on anything since there is no oil flowing through the turbo...probably all in my head.

They also work well at keeping engine bay temperatures down, but in this case, it is not necessary.
