1000 C ?
that's like 1800+ F

Who's talking 13,000 degrees anything

We got to get our units straight here!

Wes, what temps are you seeing and in what units?

Yes, awfully high... One of them, a Tiburon with HKS GT28 Turbine would run just below 800 C on a extended run. The other, the elan with Garret028 turbine would run close to 900 C on an extended run.
Anyway, I think the exhaust temp gauge is the single most important gauge you need in a forced induction car.
