Heat wrapping knackers the metal up eventually, its worse for corrosion than leaving it bare. Works quite well though if you want to keep the temps down.

See ya

I worked out what it's for. at wide open throttle the second butterfly doesn't open fully. there's about 5 degrees of 'slack'. Tried it by finding a bolt that took up the slack but still allows the first butterfly to open fully. I don't think it makes much difference at full throttle. But at midrange it feels like you get a load more grunt - which I suppose is true cuz the second throttle opens earlier, and is always gonna be 5-or-so degrees futher open whatever the throttle position.
Hmm very clever I think.

Might have to give that ago and see what happens :)
