Id hate to have to spend another 5obux on a snail

Nog, how are you controlling timing/fuel? Timing that is too retarded results in huge EGTs. If it's red, it's probably hot enough to coke oil.... Shouldn't have red exhaust unless you're really pushing the car.

My downpipe is wrapped too.. I haven't had good luck wrapping the turbos, but they do build turbo "blanket" kits.
At 1500+ degrees, you'll see a red snail housing and possibly manifold.. If you're lighting up your downpipe, I'd say you're real hot.

Re: Heatwrap and side-effects such as longevity of turbos.

Egts are about 790C, timing map and fuel are controlled by megasquirt. The reason it gets red is cause of driving up the local mountain roads at part throttle. The DP doesnt glow only the turbo and mani.
