I did this on mine, and secured it with safety wire.

Same thing happened to a buddy of mine on a different kind of car. Ever since we installed his turbo there was a coupler that was disconnected, so instead of being clamped on the IC pipe it was just sortof pressed against the end of it. He found it a couple months later and it transformed his car, spooled like 1000rpms earlier, held boost better, etc.
i have 2 layers of high temp header wrap that are also folded inside themselves to provide 4 layers of thermal protection. What I used is that white smooth finished woven sleeve stuff... I dont have a pic of it on my car, but this is the same stuff I used on a customers mr2. Its a sleeve like a sock or something, but in this picture I just folded it and wrapped the turbo.
I installed it after the pipes were all clamped, I slide it over the clamps, coupler and its even covering part of the compressor discharge on the turbo.
