Exhaust gas temp (EGT) before the turbo at full throttle (12 PSI boost) was reading 830C, AFR Air fuel ratio ended up at around 11.4, was just wondering what anyone in the know made of the readings? i would think the 11.4 afr is fine at low boost (12psi) but the egt reading?????
Hope that makes sense :?: just got the gauge connected up and am interested in any comments? i.e. what egt is melt-down :wink: :)

Its not too excessive, and it depends where you have got the EGT probe. On a tubular manifold setup, most of the exhaust heat builds up at the collector at the turbo, so if you probe is there, you can expect high'ish readings..

11.4 is a low AFR for power, but its probably helping you for torque.
