First boosted car.. Looking for some tips on cooling..

[DOQ fastlane]

The car is a 2011 CC 2.0tsi

Current mods are..

Stage 2+ file written for me by Garrett from giac
Usp 3" non resonated and catless downpipe
Bsh race intake
Awe turbo outlet pipe
Neuspeed hi flow charge pipe
Other mods are non related (coils, engine & tranny mounts etc..)

I'm starting to educate myself on cooling.
I was interested in either wrapping or ceramic coating the intake piping (which goes all the way to the turbo outlet)
The t.o.p pipe, charge pipe etc....

Which parts would be most beneficial to insulate, and what is the best route to go?

I'm not ready to consider an intercooler yet so that is not in the conversation.

Thanks for the help.

Dragging air in from a front scoop could be a good solution, CAI to your filter.

This intake is already mounted with filter right in the front ram air vent.. That shouldn't be an issue

Unfortunately that is your best solution and largest contributor.... meth injection IMO

I can get the s3 intercooler for under $300 shipped with all the necessary hoses...

Anything that will reduce heat soak on the air inlet pipework will do, ie gold reflective tape, pipe in a pipe with an air boundry but as said, an intercooler will be best as the discharged air from the compressor has been heated by the effect of the compressor on the incoming air.
