Wrapping or Coating for turbos

[Quesplosive]

I'm new to the turbo world and I'm trying to get more info on should I wrap the pipes and put a blanket on it or get the white lightning ceramic coating. I know the wraps are cheap and that's a plus but I think the coating would be a lot better as far as durability. Anyone that has knowledge please chime in. Thanks

Blanket for the turbine housing. It's the biggest factor of under hood heat.

What about the downpipes and mani? Is it really a factor to be addressed, or the stainless steel would be fine?

wrap or coat the downpipe. coating headers is nice because a hotter header moves air faster.

Blanket for the turbo, and exhaust wrap the entire hotside if possible.

I know that guys with the wraps would have to change out headers over time due to them getting wet and holding the moisture. Is that something that I'll have to worry about? If so I think Ill do the blankets and get the other stuff coated.

Blanket on the turbo, and ceramic coat headers, turbo housing and downpipe. It all helps.
