Your turbo: Comptech SC
Where the sensor is located: 2" downstream cylinder #3 header pipe
Celsius or fahrenheit: F
What you see on a highway cruise (~70-75mph): 1300-1400
What you see after really getting on it maybe first through third or fourth: <1500
And the highest EGT's youve ever seen in your car: 1500

Your turbo: GT3582R
Where the sensor is located: 2inches after the turbine
Celsius or fahrenheit: Fahrenheit
What you see on a highway cruise (~70-75mph): 1200-1300s
What you see after really getting on it maybe first through third or fourth: 1200's
And the highest EGT's youve ever seen in your car: 1450F (when my fuel pump died).
Remember your EGT is directly related to your A/F ratio. When your car is running lean the EGTs go up and when rich they drop.

Too low on your timing will also raise your EGT temps

the shaft can't be aluminum, it has to travel from compressor to turbine housing, so it has to be made to endure enough heat from the turbine housing.

The outside shell of my turbine looks like its made from cast iron (VERY high melting point) but I would assume the fins and shaft are probably made out of some kind of steel.

is that good?
i know when you slide your finger along a blade on the exhaust wheel it sounds really tinny.. not like i would assume steel would.. i guess to further explain that it doesnt sound very dense...sound light and "hollow" (i know its not hollow)
