<VV> Wrapping turbo pipes (posted to both VV and FV)

[Norman C. Witte]

Rick, I suspect that if you do the JetHot thing, the wrap may be overkill.
In any event, once you do the JetHot, you have probably eliminated the
benefit of the aluminizing, since you have just put the JetHot coating over
that coating.  Since I have just started down this road, its mostly
speculation to me, but that's my guess.
