normal header = 600-800 degrees F

turbo mani = in excess of 1200 degrees + the weight of the turbo.

I actualy used this manifold. We braced it so that there was absolutely no weight on the manifold. I also had it jet hot coated. Guess what: IT cracked in many places, not all at once but over a 2 month time period.
