What IS a safe EGT
I'm used to the Rx7 listen in my sig, and the lifeline of that engine is the air/fuel ratio, under power, if it's EVER leaner than 11:1, you risk immediate engine damage (90% HP loss), especially if it's hot out, so I keep a pretty close eye on gauges when bookin it
Well see thats the bueaty of a diesel engine.
that is very true, as well as ginormous torque numbers, and better fuel milage... but I kinda do miss an 8000 rpm redline
x2 I have my 1500 pound gauge burried before the 75ft mark
it did break ... sometime on my 2nd pull. no real reason to fix it so I took it out.

I did make the mistake of watching it on my first pull tho

Alright, I remounted the EGT probe to the rear runner pre-turbo, how do these numbers sound? bear in mind it's cold out too now
cruise - 5-600F
full load, I've seen it touch 1100F
Boost - touches 32 PSI and comes down to about 27 or so
