they may be a touch warm but I don't think you're in danger. rx-7's see 1700 ALL the time, and some setups (really lean cruise or some of the bigger power characters while WTFO) hit 1900.

Yeah, but that is a rotary, which is hot by or because of design. Their design is much more forgiving of the high temps (except for on the wiring harnesses and hoses).
I echo what has already been said. |

I'm worried about burning/dropping valves, melting my turbo's turbine wheel, warping manifolds, etc.

Save for valves, rotaries use the same stuff/materials/etc. A turbine wheel will not melt for a miata's 1600 degree heat, and then magically survive a rotary's 1900

Did a WOT 3rd gear pull today and took a glance at the gauge. At about 4k it's 1400 degrees and by 6k it was nearly 1700F. I'm running 14psi.

I was at the track last weekend and asked a guy about his egt's with really built up Audi 5 cylinder turbo and he said he sees over 2000f on the track. this does not mean 2000f is ok, but I dont think your temps are a that high. I saw an article on autospeed.com about egts and I think they said 1800f is about as high as you want to see. the temps referenced in the article is in Celsius fyi.
