Not a bit.

Not only it will not have a negative effect, it will help the turbo's exhaust air flow better(Hot air flows better), thus may even help the turbo spool up.

Yep. When exhaust gases cool (and they do so quite rapidly once they're out of the engine), they contract. What this means is less volume flowing through the turbo charger resulting in slower spooling. The heat wrap will help keep the exhaust gases hot and "expanded" until they flow through the turbo. The turbo is fine at those temperatures. If you can heat wrap, do it. There's no downside.

Well that is what I will do. Do you heat wrap all the way to the turbo inlet? Would 1 $50 pack be enough to wrap that all, even over the tranny?

I'm not sure how much wrap would be required, but yeah, I'd wrap from the headers to the inlet of the turbo. That'll give you the best heat retention. I think I remember Craig saying it took him two roles of the stuff.

Is it possible header wrap could also be used as a contraceptive? Hmmm...

Default P1273 & P1284 codes???

I also got the P1273 (A/F Sensor B1) & P1284 (A/F Sensor B2) codes w/ the Turbonetics. I have the 1 month old 5AT version w/ CAT, 5/16 spacer & Injen exhaust. Should I be concerned? How do I resolve? THANKS

now i am setting 3 new codes
p1273
p1284

these are A/F sensor bank 1 and bank 2

from what i have read i do not need to worry about these, is that true?

the last code is p0300

random missfire, from what i have read thie is also a code that i do not have to worry about.

are these codes that every one else sets? if so how often do you set these codes?

Those are very normal codes with this kit. And since the CAT comes after the sensors, it does nothing to contribute to preventing these from occuring. Unless you're worried about emissions inspections (like I am here) you can safely clear or ignore those codes. P0300 occurs with many of the F/I cars, not just the Tnetics. It's origin is still the subject of much debate, but it's nothing to worry about.
