If you're referring to wrapping your exhaust manifold, I did it to my supercharged ST170 and did notice a big reduction in under bonnet temps. I'm taking my fully heatwrapped manifold off soon as i'm turbo'ing mine now.

If you're interested, it'll be for sale. Very thoroughly wrapped with over £100 worth of DEI thermal management heat wrap and fully sealed in black!
