Yea I did think of that maybe it will cause poblems.

Although assuming you ran the ducting diretly to the inlet of the exhaust housing and welded it and then welded a fairly large down pipe down and out (maybe mid car) and dumped the exaust most of the heat will be carried out the exhaust. Anothr idea was just to weld on the downpipe wiht a 90* bend and go straight out the hood. Then I'd have a big 3 inch stack. Either or, I doubt the that the unit would retain much more heat than the stock unit.

I figure my EGT guage tells me I'm running a little over 800*Celcius on normal turbo applications. I know these mini turbies are mounted on model planes and do not melt or cause heat problems. Som of these planse are made fom fiberglas as well.

I was more worried abot the load the turbo puts on the engine once it spools. Although it look like I'm not the first. This has alreay been done.They were called Turbonique cars. Heres te sight I just found it. Awesome sight vague on the information. Check it out
