Cheap and you'll get a lot of heat soak. LazyLunitic used on on his MK3 1.8t and was loosing 10BHP per run on the dyno iirc.

would rapping the piping in heat resistant material help the heat soak issue??

wrapping the pipework before the intercooler would make it worse.
wrapping the pipework after would make a small difference to the intake temps by not allowing the heat from the engine bay to heat the intake air after it has left the intercooler but would not fix the problem.
