Default Thinking about wrap turbo collector

Hi guys!

I have a set of Ptuning. With the onset of heat, the temperature under the hood of the car has become 1000F.

I think wrap collector heatwrap. What do you think about this? But when I asked ptuning can it be done, they told me that I'll lose warranty on the manifold.
I want to know your opinion what will happen if I'll wrap collector?

Did he can crack when the boost 10psi and temperature EGT 1500F?

It's been over a year since I had my car, but from what I can remember I was running 12~ Psi with the wrap with no manifold issues. The engine gave out before the manifold @ 19Psi. My manifold was made by WR, and I'm sure the quality of theirs is equivalent or higher.

I would discourage the use of a wrap on a welded stainless piece. If you want to control under hood temps, I would recommend ceramic coating the manifold, dump tube and downpipe. Companies like Jet Hot can do the trick.

It's estimated figures, in fact, they are surely less ...

Unfortunately, in our country nobody doesn't do so. I must to remove the manifold and send it to USA, England or Ukraine. And it's at least a month without my car, or even more. But summer is now and it's not possible!

That's an easy solution considering you do not have a ceramic coater locally, however that will probably void your kit's warranty on that item. FYI.

To be sure, contact the manufacturer.
