214n stainless valves, question?

is anyone using these as turbo exhaust valves on higher output cars? as i've heard that they can give problems because of the heat involved?

you mean using 214 valves in general? You're supposed to run bronze guides, or guide sleeves with them, probably an easier alternative to chroming!
