For the turbo I think the best option you could have is as you say ceramic coat the exhaust housing, specially if it's a street car where you want a bit more durability
Yep that would be a compromise as said in the video. Though there are very cramped engine bays or where thermaly sensitive components are nearby there thermal insulation would work best
lots of newer cars do this, because the small loss in performance is not as massive of a problem for the manufacturer as a properly working AC: If the condenser gets heated up more, that means the efficiency is gonna drop, especially in the summer and AC wont work as well.
yes, on the intake, but on the exhaust side, more heat means more volume and therefore more energy so earlier spool. in colder air there is more oxigin so you want the coldest air you can get on the intake side
Love this
Watching this video just added boost to my NA engine
Nice!
Thank you my friend!

Can someone explain why is the intercooler on an Astra J VXR is mounted between the condenser and radiator, doesn't that defeat the purpose ?

Isn't colder air better for boost? That's why they call Autum/cooler weather "boost weather"
