2000-degree turbocharger?

Well, almost. It seems Mitsubishi has lately been shipping a turbo that can withstand 1050-deg. (C) heat with three times the turbine-blade creep life of Inconel. The alloy being used is MarM, which is cobalt-based rather than nickel-based. For details, see http://www.mhi.co.jp/technology/review/pdf/e453/e453001.pdf.
