Would there be any benefit to wrapping the inlet on an Si since it's plastic?

The PTP Civic 1.5T Inlet Pipe Blanket is designed to limit the amount of heat that is transferred from your turbocharger to your plastic inlet pipe that sits just above it. By limiting this amount of transferred heat, intake temperatures will be much cooler entering into your turbo.

Cooler temps ... greater oxygen density ... more power for those that may not have that info.

Power through physics rather than mechanics.

Is there even a temp sensor on the inlet tube? Are they not just at the intake and then post intercooler?

With that said it will be hard to get a concise comparison on anything. Variables between runs will make it not accurate by comparing IAT or IAT2 from the ECU. Would need someone to have a sensor on the inlet tube that reads its actual temp. See how hot it gets from driving. Then put the blanket on check the readings again after driving around.

No sensor on the inlet pipe. Post intercooler temps should be cooler. I dont think by much but a litttle here and a little there add up. I just dont like the gold tape.

If we have change on the IAT2 lower temp with inlet pipe blanket it meaning it worth it. Course the inlet pipe need the thermal gasket also.

I havet the inlet thermal gasket, plus the thermal washers. I will post results soon with the blanket.
