Not bad, just different info being displayed. i dont remember the numbers but the max temp is MUCH lower then a pre turbo .

its probably a good idea to plug that hole and tap one on the drivers exhaust man.

It is actually pretty easy. the hardest part was trying to figure out where to put the hole so that the drill and tap would fit around all the things in the way (suspension and all) and then making sure that you can turn the tap with out the handle hitting everything.

I read somewhere if its after turbo then its around 300* difference then pre turbo.. so if your not tryin to go over 1250-1300 you want to stay around 950-1000 after turbo.. like i said im not completely positive though

Yes, its bad if it is post turbo. Your EGT's could be as little as 100 or as much as 500 off... Move it to the pre turbo location or add a second gauge...

Hey,

if its after the turbo you want to setyour "alert" function if you have one around 1100-1180 i was told by NADP, i put mine after my turbo and hit numbers up to 850 if im baggin on her, usually highway is NEVER more then 450-550 depending on terrain, what setting is your programmer on? im running the Edge evo with EGT display and have it on the highest setting and i cant get over 900 im sure i could if i really beat on her but i like my beast and want to have her around forever...just my 0.02
