On top of that as already mentioned, it hides the cracks that would be visible otherwise. I would think baffling that channels some air over the pipes and turbo and out the cowling around the radiators would be another solution. I'm trying to set up my Long EZ so that I minimize access of combustible fluids to the hot section of the reactor. I am putting the exhaust and turbo into the right wing of the Long EZ anyways so there is little extra baffling needed to seal it of from the better part of the engine and the therefore from the oil and fuel. My goal is to (just about) be able to spray fuel into the running engine cooling inlet without anything catching on fire.

The wrap just disintegrated anywhere it touched the turbo, but it would probably have held up on the pipe itself. There are some ceramic coatings that can be used, but hopefully, it won't come to that.
