well the group a t34 that i have , has a inconel shaft i believe, its a turbo technics s122. its just i want to run aggressive antilag and wondered what the maximum temp is. i have fitted a exhaust gas sensor and dial so i know the temp just in case it gets to hot. but i dont know what that temp is!

not to much over 900` i think, 900-950 then u will be safe and tha antilag will work great as you get a super heated pressure in the exhaust housing

i take it that 900c will be the max for an inconel shaft? and a maram would be alot higher i take it? its a rally car im building so i dont really want to be worrying about the temp on a stage if i can help it. i will probably buy a maram shaft for piece of mind when i can afford it that is!!
