I have not installed your kit yet, so I had no idea of the clearances. I assumed these trucks needed something on them or it would melt everything around them. I might just have everything coated and just run the turbo blanket. That coating should last for years based on my previous experience, but I just can't remember how well it did with heat. I do remember a huge difference from bare stainless to the coating, but didn't have a side by side comparison with a wrapped equivalent

I have a trick kit installed for over a year now. Used only what came in the kit. No wrap or coatings on any of the hot pipes. The only thing that has gotten burnt a little is a couple of the plug wires. No other issues with melting. Its my daily driver and im currently running 12psi.

I decided I'm going to ceramic coat all the pipes including the drivers manifold and crossover, then just run a blanket on the turbine housing. There doesn't seem to be a permanent wrap out there and I hate stuff that doesn't last. It will be convenient to do now since none of the parts are on the truck, so no downtime

Wrap won't last. But you can get years out of simple stuff.
And if you only do top section of down pipe. Easy enough to swap.
Warning on coating crossover. If the company uses beads to rough or possible pre or post coatings. Plug to crossover. Those little bb's can get stuck inside the liner.
