Honest truth I raced a Tundra and beat him by a truck length, but I held the egts to long about 40 seconds hitting 1600. I take off my pyro shoots up, boost is fine but the egts get hot. I try and hit 55 MPH to 60 and I'm in the 12 to 1300's if I try and get to 60 MPH. Did I screw myself and fry my turbo ? It starts fine sounds good when I shut it off no clang clang just hear the spin nothing bad sounding. I looked at the boots no holes no hiss sound. Just the egts shoot up fast when I take off from a dead stop on a normal take off nothing fancy .

Is this different from how the EGT's would react prior to the race?

 

[Mike Hickman]

Yes , big difference.

 

[Evil Eye]

I would think you have a boost leak based on the symptoms you describe. How much boost are you building under WOT?

 

[Mike Hickman]

I hit 40 mph I'm in the 14 to 16 Pyro. Boost is good nothing wrong there and no smoke or noises or cracks in the boots.

 

[Evil Eye]

So boost appears to be the same as before? Can you datalog boost and exhaust back pressure at WOT?

what are the chances of the pyro reading wrong?

 

[Mike Hickman]

Pyro gauge was the problem it went out and was reading wrong . Thanks for all the help guys!

 

[Mike Hickman]

New Gauge all is good ...

 

[Evil Eye]

Good to hear, Mike! Was the old one made by AutoMeter and did you replace the new one with AM?
