i only use heatwrap to reduce temps around the exhaust. I have yet to find benefits in performance between heatwrap and non-heatwrap on any of my cars or race bikes.

i guess with the right numbers anyone can prove gains on anything though.

This was at 7 pounds... It's a lot better than last time... But it's not holding boost steady even with ebc on.. So it's off the dyno to do a pressure test and smoke test ..n check again . I'll report bak when I have more info... My luck is sucking .. Ugh well see

The turbo or the kit will not be the limiting factor here, the weak sauce rods will. The tune is important too, but I think he will bee good there.

Make sure yo check those bolts on the exhaust side again. I know you said it is a 3 hour drive to your tuner. If they were not tightened well, one may have come loose.

Either way sounds like progress, those were nice numbers for 7psi.

My car is holding 9psi with the T4 6262 with less duty cycle on the EBC than with the T3 6162.
