Default SO i had some coupler burning issues....

Well as im sure everyone knows the Inline kit has one little flaw in an other wise well desinged kit. That damn coupler off the turbo just sits on the manifold and gets baked to hell and ends up looking like this


Well I call inline, and they say they are aware of the issue and are working on a method of changing it, he did however advise me that are currently just putting a peice of heat wrap between the coupler and manifold to solve the issue. I thought this was all well and good untill i looked on this board and found someone who done just that, but still ended up burning through the coupler.
After doing some research on my own I found a heat wrap brand i wanted to try, thermo tec, supposed to be good upto 2000 degrees with reguler contact, the stuff i saw in the other thread was some foil looking stuff so i decided to give it a whirl.
I did the easy fix with the new coupler, just wedged a peice of heat wrap in there and decided to give it sometime to see how it held up. Much to my delight it held up perfectly with only minor color change to the wrap.
At this point i decided I wanted to try something, Why not wrap the whole thing? Wouldnt hurt anything if it doesnt work. SO got motivated did it today, and the results are yet again pleasing. The hot side charge pipe was unable to be touched after hard driving previusly, now its warm, but not burning hot. Well here are the pics of the manifold as it sits, keep in mind I wraped whiled still on the car, down the road it will be cleaned up and coated but now now lol
