Cheers anyway for the advise Russ, the headers are in now. I will leave them un treated until the end of the year when I get more work done and they come out again.
I will probably do the ceramic plus the wrap. I already have the wrap, but as I said, I was advised against it by people who have had their headers crack. Not sure how they proved it was from the wrap and not poor quality material (stainless steel or whatever) or the welding. But anyway....

I have heard of them cracking from doubling up. Coating and wrap. You will be fine without it anyway. Mine are unwrapped.

Has anyone had an issue with the clearance of the equal length headers to the coolant line from the standard oil cooler? It seems with the new twin scroll headers on, there is only about 5 - 10 mm clearance from the coolant line and header
Has anyone else had this issue, when going to either twin scrolll or equal lenghth headers? Possibly specific to GD models, no too sure? If so what was the fix? I am guessing relocate the cooler? Either that or wrap that section of header with wrap?

My uppipe is wrapped. Maybe thats the reason.

From what I can gather from Warick at Evolution R its the front of the header itself not the up-pipe. I am pretty sure it was a coolant line, going to, or coming from the oil cooler??

It is actually the oil cooler itself that is quite close to the manifold. Will put some wrap around that part of the piping itself.
Some pics from today. Not quite there yet, but will post better pics up soon. Turbo on there but not quite: Intake Manifold off (just sitting on there): Part of the turbo manifold too close to the oil cooler (for those of you who ask where the oil cooler is, it is part of the oil filter mount): |

Looking good Mao.
Did not expect the Turbo on until tomorrow. You have done very well.

It's a <1%. In the end there are so many cheaper variables (mods) with a greater return (speed/power/etc) to consider than "ceramic" v "wrap".
