Sun, 05 October 2003 10:58 TA22 GT wrote on Sun, 05 October 2003 20:35 Hi all, I need to reduce the under bonnet temperature from my turbo manifold and dump pipe. My bonnet is also getting very hot above the manifold itself. So, is ceramic coating (HPC) better than using a thermal wrap? I know ceramic coating looks better than wrap, BUT it needs to significantly reduce the temperature. Somehow I think that the thermal wrap will reduce temps more than ceramic coatings Shoudl I use the wrap or go for a coating? why not try both? the HPC will keep a lot of heat inside the dump pipe (resulting in higher exh gas temps near to turbo) - and the wrap will reduce the amount of radiant heat from the pipe? or do HPC advise not using wrap? also, but some h/duty stick on insulation onto the bonnet and right above the turbo, stick on some reflective insulator onto the bonnet insulation. You can get the former from Clark Rubber and the later from most speedshops. Is what i did - bonnet is only warm to touch, even if turbo is v.hot. charles. [Report message to a moderator]
