Just head down to Clark Rubber and buy their heat/fire/oil/petrol-resistant heat shielding. $15 should buy you enough for any plans that you might have.
It's the stuff that's shielding my air filter.
They now have one that has foil on one side too.

I got some fibreglass matting (the type you use for fibreglass repairs of your car - minus the resin) from the hardware shop in an effort to insulate over the turbo heat shields. It doesn't seem to burn, and you can get woven sheets. The muffler wrap is also fibreglass, but cost a lot more (but is thicker).

i've seem to have lost my revolution race gear catalogue but they have heaps of stuff for heat proofing, the heat proof tape and turbo covers and just plain heat proofing sheating so give revolution race gear a call get them to send you a catalogue out and check through that, they even have silicon cable ties capable of handling up to over 1000'C in temperature which is pretty impressive.
but to do a simple test before you do something is place it in the oven and see what happens you will notice electrical tape will just shrink up once it is heated,
but give revolution racegear a call as they have it all.
