Just my  opinion, & I'm certainly no materials engineer, but generally
stainless  (I'll concede it does come in different flavors, and most
importantly,  different wall thicknesses) isn't the best choice for very high
heat  applications.... like a turbo. 


 
Hmm... the hottest parts in the turbo application would be the EM and the  
turbine housing, right?  Neither of these parts are made with SS in the OE  
applications.  Seems like that is worth considering.  My header was  made with 
weld els, from what I can tell.  Maybe it'll last, maybe it  won't... but it 
currently has nearly 17k miles on it, is ceramic coated (on the  outside), and has 
been to the point of glowing brightly on many, many  occasions.
