Ok, I ordered some thermotec heat wrap for my manifold, hot side of the turbo and downpipe. Once it gets up to operating temp the damn wrap starts SMOKING! Obviously not a good thing. This shit is supposed to be good up to 2000 degrees farenhieght. Anyone else use this or know why the hell it's smoking? I havent had smoke come out of my bay since the HRC was installed and the coating burnt off. I dont exactly like seeing it now.

Did that heat wrap realy work for you? or is it waste of money?

That's perfectly normal. Like everyone else mentioned, the smell will ge gone in a day or two. Plus, you'll notice the color turns darker, too--normal.

Yes I used the DEI wrap on my bike, smoking is normal as is color change. Also, you should get some silicon spray and coat it with it after it stops smoking.
