Boosting the efficiency of a tubocharger

Has any one with a turbocharged tried wraping the exhaust to make sure more heat gets to the turbo?
Since a turbocharger is a heat engine just like all the other thermodynamic cycles it needs heat, wraping the exhaust will keep the heat in.
Mainly I would like to know if any one has tried this on a turbo diesel.
