Turbo: How hot is hot?

[Koren]

[Cordia_gsr]

Ermm, so far I've encountered that the bonnet insulator melted and deformed because the mandrel bent from the intercooler is running too near to that portion.

no wonder turbo charging is dangerous..

If its steel....probably around 700 to 800C you will start to see that it will become red hot. Still ok though coz steel melting point is around 1000+ (depending on the quality of the metal).

 

 

If its aluminium....its probably half the temperatures for steel.

I've had my turbo get that hot on more than one occasion. But my question is how those pics got taken. I tried it over and over again with a digi-cam and could barely capture the glow...
