P.S that engine bay looks so sweet
Ive looked into the physics of this before in a lot of depth and the air flowing so quickly and under pressure through the intercooler piping is only going to be VERY minimally effected by the temperature of the piping so it isnt realy important.
That heat reflective tape on a roll is shit I had some before and it was rubbish. If your going to do it manifold heat wrap would be the best way forward. .

dave that is a very good answer lol.......
so due advise i get some manifold wrap yeah? is your opinion worth me spending money on......? i do see what your saying though completely.........
Manifold heat wrap would be the best bet imo if your going to do it. That heat reflective tape isnt worth bothering with.
The manifold wrap is designed to insulate heat whether it is keeping heat in or keeping it out. It is made to stop heat passing through it so if it stops heat escaping from the manifold it is keeping the heat in and if it is on the ic piping it is keeping heat out.
ps have you thought of rigging an intercooler spray up? I made one for mine the other day piece of piss from old washer jets pump and bottle ive got a spray on my radiator too now!
Dave
I bought mine from here http://www.cooltek.co.uk/exhaust_heat_wrap.htm got mine next day
15 metres should be plenty mate.
Ill knock a tutorial up on the intercooler spray as soon as I can, its so easy and virtually free to do it may be good in the meantime.
Let us know how you get on with the heat wrap mate.
