Message	Just ordering some protective heat sleeving and wraps for my Z and I stumbled across some turbo wraps and exhaust manifold wraps. It seems that these things would not only keep the turbos nice and hot, helping exhaust air faster to the "cooler" downpipes, but would also keep the engine bay cooler than it usually is. I have seen these things on many other turboed cars teamed with wraped exhaust manifolds, and it just got me wondering why we don't see many 300ZXs out there with their turbos and exhaust manifolds wrapped. Is there a drawback to doing this on our cars or is this just something that doesn't do much, so most leave it out. just wondering. Thanks. Oh and as for the site..yall might want to check it out..they have a ton of awesome products there that we can all use. For example, if you are running a parallel ful rail setup just like how whitepearlz is, you could wrap the fuel hoses that are touching the valvecovers in the red hot sleeving to protect them ect. That's one of the reasons and products I actually just ordered along with a couple others. They have sleeves, tapes, ties and all sorts of stuff that can handle 400F continuous up to like 2000F continuous. Go check it out.
