If you lost an apex seal, and it sounds like you did, pieces of the seal go out of the motor while under boost, there is no material that can take that beating. The turbo is spinning at 60k+ rpm's and the piece of apex seal fly into that spinning turbine that's all she wrote. It's not about the tempature, it's about the impact of the blades on the piece of seal. Ouch

I agree with yellowbird. There is no way that a turbo turbine will withstand a broken apex seal. But what I think you should be addressing is why did the seal break? most of the time it is detination that pings the seals and destroys them. You should figure out whats causing it.
