I figured it was time to branch out a bit. I love cars, so I figured I branch out here. About 1/5 of the post you see above is from the article in overboost, but I didn't want to have to cite sources on the damned thing.

BTW, I still stand by what I said about turbo heat. While the temperature may change slightly, it's not nearly enough to make any mechanical changes around it. Overboost is a great source, but it is not by a long shot my only source. One of my good friends is a prof. at Sequoia Institute (see http://www.sequoiainstitute.com/), and his opinon is the same as mine on this. I may have only modified 4 or 5 cars in my time with turbos, but I'm still 97% sure this is right.

Thanks for posting!
You stand by your statement and I'll stand by mine. The term "slightly" is relative, from herostar's example of 1200 to 1500 degrees, a 300 degree increase may be a slight increase to one person but a 25% increase in temp to another. To view it in another light, a 25% increase in horsepower is a pretty nice increase (25 extra HP for every 100 horses)
