EGT's on gas turbos
Ok, so I was curious on what kind of EGT's I have on my setup, so I bought a EGT probe that works with my EFILive, since I can use it with the diesels too. I installed the probe inbetween the last cyclinder and the turbo (about 8"). What I'm seeing is a max of about 1500-1550* at the end of a WOT run with both low and high boost (7/11lbs). AFR is good about mid 11's in both. Also spraying meth (well, windshield washer fluid) though a M10 nozzle. Just driveing down the highway seems to be around 1150-1250. Anyone have any thought or input on this? Anyone else watch EGT's? What are you seeing? Here's the log.

Do egt probes have to be on an individual cylinder, or can they go in a collector?

My wideband shows 11.7ish at WOT but my NBO2's(vette rear's) are real low, like 810 maybe 790's.

Ny EGT's read around 1100 after a WOT run I can see them hit 1300-1400. I wouldn't want them much hotter than that, more fuel will keep them cooler.
