wrapping your 02 or DP
wrapping your 02 or DP
is it recomended to wrap your DP or 02 housing before putting them back on? Im not sure if the bottom heat shield goes back on over aftermarket 02 housings or not. anybody wrap theirs? thanks
yeah, definatly do it before i put it back on. I was wondering more about the 02 housing. if its worth wrapping. If it is. I will buy enough for the 02 housing and DP and do it all at once. Thank dude
I know this may recieve some heartburn but other than noise control, wrapping or insulating DP can rob a turbo 2-4psi. The pressure drop (hot - cold) should occur accross the turbine which increases gas velocity. This also negates the minimal scavenging benifits with insulted ducting.
I didn't belive this until I found out the hard way after spending $50 on ceramic tape. When My DP was fully insulted my boost dropped 2 psi peak and tapered rather severly, I thought it was something else until I removed the wrap.

Is this because hotter exhaust gasses are encountering more resistance than colder exhaust? I could see how this might be true, as they will expand more and cause a bit of a bottleneck, but I would think that the higher speed of hot gasses would evacuate more quickly
What downpipe / o2 housing do you run, C6?

agree with the principle, but a 2-4# loss in boost from wrapping the downpipe? Gimme a break......
