What are you guys seeing for EGT temps and what turbo are you running? I'm getting the basic greddy kit and wondering what temp manifold coating I should go with? I assume something good to 1700F would be fine?

I've never seen anything hotter then ~1400F and thats when my fuel pump was crapping out (running very lean).

On average I see 900-1200F.

 

how do you protect the downpipe and manifold from that heat issues?
is the wrapper adequate?

 

The downpipe / manifold will always be that hot, its designed to flow 1000+ degree gases through it


Headerwrap actually makes the pipes hotter so if anything, that would be a bad thing for what you want to do

 

I am not sure what the exact EGTs are supposed to be. On my wife's Evo, they vary so much it is crazy. The EGTs vary depending on what gear I am in and what load the engine is under. The EGTs have gotten as high as 1600 degrees under WOT though. Cruising temps seem to be around 1200 degrees.
