if you melt 1 off in the headers then i think thats the least of your worries
headers 800degress cooler than after the turbo ?

I would be worried !!!

Who said the tips melt ? I had a head gasket fail on an engine before. The water rushing past broke the EGT probe, it went through the brand new turbo, destroying the turbine blades.

Ive heard of other failures with temp probes. Sometimes it just happens.
its one of those perpetual motion machines
