When I was running the Merk with just the air/air charge air cooler, with
water spray on it, I measured a few temps. Compressor discharge was hot
enough that leaving it un insulated actually helped lose about
60degrees f, but after the heat exchanger, insulating was desirable. I used
Exhaust wrap, and experimented with water jacket around the 3" tube, and
found them about the same. KISS
SO, insulate at least the tubing downstream of the cooler.
I cannot find the actual data and cannot remember the exact numbers, so this
is my humble opinion.
