Deciding to not wrap the pipes is a bonehead decision. You're going to hate life when all the wires and connectors get brittle from the heat and break when you touch them. Or you melt a wastegate line. Don't be lazy. Wrap the pipes.

I agree. Especially after seeing the connectors under your car when you thought ceramic coating would have you covered.

If nothing else bag the ******* turbo. But I would wrap all hot side piping and get thermotec for all the vacuum lines and wiring in the area.
