Narrative:
I was flying in normal cruise on an IFR flight plan. When directly above ZZZ the turbo input temperature gauge redlined at 2000 degrees. Also the annunciator light lit. Rather than troubleshoot the problem in the air; I decided to divert and land at the airport directly under me at the time. I contacted ZZZ approach; who I was already in 2-WAY communication; and alerted them to the problem. They assisted with vectors to ZZZ and contacting the tower for me. After talking with several mechanics and cirrus professionals; it was determined to be a faulty sensor.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING IN NORMAL CRUISE ON AN IFR FLT PLAN. WHEN DIRECTLY ABOVE ZZZ THE TURBO INPUT TEMP GAUGE REDLINED AT 2000 DEGS. ALSO THE ANNUNCIATOR LIGHT LIT. RATHER THAN TROUBLESHOOT THE PROB IN THE AIR; I DECIDED TO DIVERT AND LAND AT THE ARPT DIRECTLY UNDER ME AT THE TIME. I CONTACTED ZZZ APCH; WHO I WAS ALREADY IN 2-WAY COM; AND ALERTED THEM TO THE PROB. THEY ASSISTED WITH VECTORS TO ZZZ AND CONTACTING THE TWR FOR ME.
