heatwrap and manifolds...
how much is roughly needed to heatwrap a manifold on an ERST? and what width.

The amount I cannot tell you, but I would be wary of wrapping the exhaust manifold pre-turbo as apparently they can crack from the heat increase.

This is only what I have heard from people who have wrapped their manifolds, hence "apparently".

I've seen erst manifolds crack without heat-wrap (around the collector), so wrapping them can only make that worse.

that looks alright, can you remember if it was the 1" or 2"?
the price for the metal ties sounds about right, they're a right swizz in most places. but in that case, ebay is your friend
