Default Attitude Controller- EGT Questions

Hey guys, I just bought an f-250 w/ edge juice and the attitude controller.

I'm not a hundred percent sure that the guy who owned it before me had the tunes correct or not as far as EGT and everything else. It's rare that my EGT's are above 5 or 6 hundo, and wondering how or if I should tune it for the more extreme setting to a higher EGT so I can get more power/black smoke. Sometimes its fun, am I right?

Where is your EGT probe? If it's in the downpipe, move it to the manifold...

See I'm not really sure yet, but from what I've looked up my EGT's are relatively low I think,

How could I check to see where it is?

Also does anyone know if I really do have/can find out if I have the 'forged internals' that supposedly came out in some 2000 powerstrokes?

Follow the wire coming from the gauge, through the firewall to the probe... If it's in your downpipe which it sounds like it might be, it's reading a lot cooler than the manifold where you get a much more accurate reading...

This picture is looking up from the ground at the Drivers side exhaust manifold... If your probe is here it is PRE-TURBO which is good...



If it is on the turbo down pipe (exhaust) then it is POST-TURBO and bad... Judging by your numbers I would bet the farm on a POST-turbo pyro install.

Not a big deal, its easy to move.

How do I cover the hole from the probe in that post turbo spot? I'll take a peak if I can in a bit and let you guys know exactly where it is

Oh, and there's no way to do anything else with that Juice module. It is what it is.
