Thats correct, additionally, you cannot use run of the mill epoxy to do this. Garrett said that you will expect to see momentary compressed air temps up to
500 degrees at the hotpipe. While carbon has a lower mass than alluminum, the special epoxy that can handle that temp has a higher mass than the carbon. So
that rules out carbon being really effective. And it would not be any lighter, in fact you would need to make it heavier for reinforcements sake. Real focus should be on the intercooler. What about a relay activated fan setup that sucks air thru the IC at preset times?
