Anyone with in-depth turbo knowledge able to post acceptable EGT figures for a T25 to handle?

I have a BMW M30 3.5 six cylinder with twin T-25's in my Alpina B10. Runs 12 psi max. 367BHP 388ft/lbs.

On another forum (not naming names) a guy posted saying these engines are very fragile as the EGT reaches 1200 degrees C at 286 kmh etc. and cracked heads are common...

I'm no expert on turbo temp limits but would be very surprised if 1200 degrees was attainable let alone sustainable in a production engine that, in my car at least has covered 100,000 miles without missing a beat on original turbos.

Just curious so if anyone knows, please chip in.

Dave.
