The turbo is supposed to be extracting energy= from=20 the exhaust stream=2E Basically it is converting heat energy into mechanical= work=20 by expanding and cooling the exhaust=2E I haven't done the calculations, but= a=20 700F drop in temp across the turbine doesn't sound unreasonable=2E I think y= ou=20 lose very little temperature in 12" of pipe=2E
