I recently heat reflective wrapped the metal piping of my ITG and have a cold air feed pipe, it may make a small difference.


Is there a certain type of heat tape you need to use?  :chicken:

I will have a look tommorow (It's at work), see if there's enough left to do another inlet  :happy2:

Thanks Mike.  :smiley:

Do they come in any other colours besides gold?  :ashamed:

You can get the ITG ceramic coated which will do the job of heat reflection. I think its an extra £50 or you could buy mine off me as the car is going back to standard soon  :sad1:

Ive had and fitted both on my eddy running Revo stage 2+ (9/5/7), TBH there is no noticeable difference in performance between either induction kit, both dont fit perfect and really need someone experienced to fit correctly. both i think look nice and do the job, IMO i would buy whatever is cheaper....current setup is ITG


old setup: Forge...now on baldwinds eddy
