DIY: A/C Insulation

[yarisugi]

^ It feels like aluminum foil that we use in the kitchen, but one side is sticky. That's why it's called aluminum tape.

I think I might have done a little overkill. On the back end, after wrapping with aluminum tape,
I had some Thermo-Tec Heat Shield left over and wrapped some more.
I think the Thermo-Tec can withstand the heat much better than the aluminum tape.
By the way, do you wrap that big bubble like thing in between the tube by the ECU? What is that for?

If you read earlier in the thread, i think it's actually the original post, it says you don't have to cover that part, but that it does make a difference if you do. I don't have that part covered on my install, but only because I didn't have large enough material to do so, and i plan on doing it when i get back to the store.
