Exacly!, thats my point, thats why I'm doing a loot a insulation test, and fortunately with very positive results!!
Here some pictures, We currently have tow mayor problems, one is front mount turbo, the other big problem is the way the engine extract all the heat from the radiator, that hot air blowing from the radiator fans make all the intake hoses literally boil it!.

Where did you get that material from? I've always used the Mishimoto Gold tape but that looks so much thicker

Didn't notice any pressure drop or increased turbo lag after install. I am still hitting 25/26 psi on WOT (same i was getting before the install) and i noticed it pulls harder in the top end with just the intercooler swap out. Im sure the larger pipes/inlet size on the intercooler help with the air flow and got rid of the last bottle neck on the intake side and most of it is gone on the exhaust side for me after the downpipe replacement. Now i just need to pick an exhaust and ill be done for a while and i can throw it on the dyno again to see where i ended up after all my parts.

Did you ever get it on a Dyno? The ECU in the Type R without a tune nets almost zero gains with any bolt on's.

I got it from amazon, this material has double layer, one made from embossed aluminum and the internal /sticky looks like fiber glass .

If I ever got it on a Dyno? well would be like 12 times lol ( I'm a tuner ) . All cooling mods won't gave you any gains, is just for keep the power more consistent due the heat soak.

Bolts on with stock ECU won't give you more power, but will reach quickly to the torque target and the car will be more responsive and noticeable faster, you can see some gains in the middle range, minimum but noticeable.

I wanted to mention this post is pretty old , now there is more to do for improving cooling and heat soak.
