It will be fine....I went so far as putting some grease on a qtip to make sure there wasnt any chips left. Some people have drilled them with the engine running as well.

As for the EGT's for sustained operation, I wouldnt go past 1200F

 

Im ordering the phantom 2 autometer gauges off ebay!! Which gauges do the best job as far as quality and performance???

 

I personally dont like autometers - prefer Isspro EV series or DiPricol guages.

BTW, we do have site sponsors here that can provide you with anything you need for very fair prices and they stand behind their products (probably a lot better than anyone off of ebay would).

If you want a quote you can post what you are looking for here:

Thanks!!!!! Should I not try adjusting my boost elbow untill I get my gauge installed?

 

I wouldnt mess with it until you get the boost gauge

 

Thanks.... I posted a thread to get prices on the gauges and the pod.

 

No problem...enjoy the site.

Im closing the thread - you can open it back up again if you are having the same issues after you adjust the idle.
