Mine (and I think Gavin's too) is ceramic coated to manage the temps. I'm not sure of any with wrapping, perhaps Eddy may have.
Depending on how far you're going, the standard turbo manifolds are quite restrictive, particularly the 3rd cylinder. A good manifold is worth at least 5kwat (measured from seat of the pants). I had to change back from the ATP manifold to standard manifold cos the ATP cracked beyond repair. The labour associated to replacing was quite huge, and I've lost some power, but hopefully won't have future manifold or bolt stretching issues. If the car was street driven, it may not have eventuated.

yeh i was planing on upgrading the turbo later on down the road and was gonna ceramic the turbo and downpipe and manifold all at the same time was just thinking of usen some heatwrap for now just to try lower the temps abit its the hottest engine bay i have ever felt could use it to cook a pig on a spit lol i was thinking of coating the the charge pipe at the back of the motor to try lower intake temps
