It makes sense to me that one of the purposes in the exhaust system is to carry heat away from the engine. The best way to do this is by NOT allowing much of it to escape through the pipes.

The problem with the wrap on the turbo is that it's large and is a thick metal...so it absorbs a lot of heat. Therefore I think you'd shorten the life of the turbo to wrap it (turbine side)
