I've got the turbo blanket, log manifold wrapped, down pipe wrapped, crossover pipe wrapped to the bend, and pretty much all wires around that area are wrapped with heat tape. Turbo oil feed covered with heat sleeving along with the A/C low pressure hose. Heater hoses are also covered down by the waterpump.

I've wrapped absolutely nothing for the past ~10,000 miles on my trick kit. Haven't had one issue with anything, but am still planning on getting a blanket.

I haven't wrapped a damn thing either. Just made sure it's all out of the way. I've thought about doing it and have ment to just never have.

I hate to ask for spoon feeding, but could you guys show me exactly what heat tape, turbo blanket, exhaust wrap you used? How much exhaust wrap and what size? How many stainless steel zip ties?

I'd like to do a little ordering and I'm not sure what products have been successful. Also, I'd like to keep everything black if I can.

Thanks!

Silicone cans wont be needed. You can just wrap the down pipe.

Pretty much everything that Trick Performance mentioned is what is mostly recommended.
