Easy way to boost performance on a 3116 "wrap those pipes"

[Adventure Driven]

From our experience the cooler the compressed air post turbo the better. So we wrapped the intercooler pipes with the same heat protection wrap we used on our dirt bike exhaust pipes. Took it out for a spin and the motor defiantly likes it. During a test drive I could tell a bit more power and better throttle response from this modification.

You have a brand name for the tape you used? Glad to see the snow is gone too.

DEI is what I used, got it off the Zon, I am super happy the snow is gone for now.

Not mine. I've had them off enough times fixing other things so I'm well versed in removal and installation. Unfortunately the broken kneecap will keep me from doing anything for a while.

This kind does real well at a good price.

I have used it in other applications with good results.

If I ever get an LMTV that's one of the things I plan on doing. There are various coverings you can get--all very common in the performance turbocharging world.

Another things I plan on doing is taking off and ceramic coating the exhaust so it's not so easily prone to rust. Plus maybe some stainless hardware. Every single LMTV I have seen has nasty looking headers and header bolts. Probably a nightmare to get it off without breaking a stud/bolt.
