Turbo exhaust housing temp on rear mount.. I would like to see how my turbo exhaust housing temperature measures up to some fellow rear mount turbo guys.
If you can list if your using-
1. Manifolds or Headers
2. Size pipe to turbo
3. Is it wrapped up
4. Are you using a turbo blanket
I have long tube headers still with a 2.5inch Y to a 2.5 all the way to the turbo with a recently installed turbo blanket with the exhaust wrapped just after the headers all the way to the turbo.
I started my car and let it idle for 5-8min to get it warmed up and took a temp reading with my temp gun and it read 170 degrees.
I then took a spirited drive for about 10min and measured the temp right after pulling into the driveway and read about 400 degrees. Just wondering how hot your turbo gets.

i recorded 528 F out of my tailpipe at 10-12psi...it was 42 F air temp...Fluke II with a K type thermocouple.
Stock manifold
2" to turbo
fully heat wrapped and hvac foil tape[prevents moisture penitration]
no blanket
FYI,i have a 88 Nissan 200sx v6 rear remote turbo.
