Yes wet it. 1. It stops all the horrible fibres going everywhere and 2. It means that when it drys, it shrinks and gives a really good fit.
Make sure you use lots of overlap. Don't butt it up as any small gaps will cause massive heat spots and potential to cause fire.
Don't use high temp paints. This has been known to ruin the wrap. Instead, use the special spray (DEI make some. You can get it from rallynuts). Paying particular attention to any "danger" areas (e.g manifold if there is a risk of oil leaking onto it. If it soaks up oil, this can also cause a fire risk)
