#13562, "weird EGT readings"


          

I'm runni'n 15 PSI and just had my EGT gauge installed.Well,teh probe ended up being put in the downpipe.Thing is I'm reading around 700-1100 max even when I boost max.Now according to this board to compensate for the probe being farther down stream,I should add about 200 right?That would still make it around 1300.This sound right or do you think I should ad more to the temp cause it's farther down.It's actually about 4.5" from the turbine.Either way I'm happy for the low egt's.I just wanted to see if I"m assuming the right values.Egt's so low,I'm contemplating turning up the boost more.

Mine is about an inch away from the turbo in the downpipe. If yours is down a little further I would add about 300-350 to the temp. 4.5' is a pretty long ways away.

Considering where the probe is located it sounds to like it just may be reading right. If you are happy with the way it currently feels the best thing to do might be to make some runs with a wideband so you can see your a/f mixture.
