You dont actually need a maram shaft!!!!!I didnt run one on my T4,as long as you have an EGT gauge you can switch it off before melt down!

The only one i have seen had '247' in a cicrcle stamped on one of the compressor fins - you'll need to take the compressor housing off (obviously) to see it though.
