turbo question

[Maverick87]

I have a te44 on my sy and I would like to know how hot the compresser is supose to get mine gets hot enough to make a sizzleing sound when you put water on it after a pass. I am only running 14 psi.

I know it should get pretty freaking hot...I wouldn't be too concerned about it....

thats normal. the air temp coming out of that thing can be from 300-450 deg f

I'd suppose puting water on a compressor that regularily gets hot would cause it to crack...but I'm not an expert.

I dont do it on purpose it is run off from the bag of ice on the ic

Do you mean compressor housing? I imagine you would want the two halves of the turbo to be at opposite temperatures extremes. The exhaust housing wrapped and/or coated to keep the exhaust gases moving as quickly as possible, and the compressor housing as cold as possible to aid in its efforts to create as dense a charge of air as possible.

That is to say that I cannot even reason out why cooling the exhaust housing would be beneficial.
