Originally posted by SilvrEclips Most of the time the oil temp stays pretty close to the coolant temp. I would suspect the oil to be between 200-250F. Like stated earlier coming out of the turbo it may be a little hotter
May be a little hotter? MAY BE?
Exhaust gas temps can exceed 1600*F at the head. By the time they reach the turbo they are 200* cooler MAX. That means the turbo housing is going to be 1400*. The CHRA bolts directly to the exhaust housing so that means the CHRA is going to be no less than 1300*. Your now tickeling 200* oil through a 1300* turbo and you think the oil might be a little hotter?
To the Original poster......you can have all the gauges you want. By the time you realize you have a leak you will already be starving the engine of oil. Your penny pinching 20.00, it cost more than that to fill up your gas tank. You sir are being foolish and if you continue on this road of stupidity, you will soon be modding an electric golf cart!
