It's the Mishimoto Heat Defense Tape:

I found it MUCH cheaper on EBizzle:

I suggest getting the 35' roll. I got the 15' roll the first time & went through it quick.

It works for realz. Before the tape the intake tube would be scalding hot after a drive, but with the tape I can wrap my hand around it directly after a drive & it is barely warm (that was before I even put the thermal gasket between the intake tube & turbo inlet). I was surprised that it worked so well, hence losing my mind & wrapping the intake.

Mishimoto said:

So unfortunately, since the demand for these has exceeded expectations, we're out of stock currently, but we already have more on the way. I'll double check the restocking date and see if we're going to get them in any earlier

After checking up on our stock, it looks like some of our distributor orders have started going out as well!
