I moved mine closer to the turbo like that and noticed higher temp readings than what I was used to seeing. Then they hit 1050 pretty easy, and then on the last trip coming home empty it went 1050, 1100, 1200, 1888, and 2211 before it quit. Never had a probe die before, but for whatever reason, mine did. Due to where my "rust band" in the turbo paint is, I'm skeptical that even the 1050 readings were correct because the turbo is obviously not running hot.
