Holset Turbo Maximum Specs...

Along with that-when the fan comes on and brings that temp down,is it real, or is it just fooling the probe & gauge?

1400 is max spike, -- It can withstand 1350 for 3 - 5 minutes,... and that translated to a casing temperature of roughly 1050 degrees F (outside the turbo).

Having the EGT probe mounted to the outside of the manifold is NOT going to give someone an actual EGT reading. That is not the point of putting in on the outside, but only monitoring the 'Heat Soak" instead.

A "Heat Soak" gauge in the dash is meant to be used a fuel savings device. It does not matter that it reads lower than the actual EGT's. It is a tool that gives the driver an average temp reading while climbing hills, and pulling heavy freight that can be used for using better driving habits, and therefore saving them fuel.

I.E.> It is the exhaust manifold casing/metal temperature that the driver uses to maintain and keep down, find better ways to climb hills and such. The less average heat buildup (less heat soak) to do the same amount of work = the more fuel savings. It does not really matter that it reads incorrectly vs. the actual EGT's, but that it reads something relevant to the work being done. It becomes more of a gauge that tells someone "How hard am I working that engine" more-so than anything else... and that can be very useful.

If your fan kicks on and drops the "heat-soak"/manifold temp readings then also, YES, that is real, and it is NOT fooling any kind of sensor. Good Air-flow around the outside of the turbo will also help keep its temperatures in check and allow it to absorb/withstand more internal heat over time.
