Re:egt gauge

Most max EGT temps are for pre turbo ie:1350* max temp before melt down starts<br><br>I would recommend pre turbo....it gives a truer temp reading

Re:egt gauge

I am pre-turbo (exhaust manifold). You will get more accurate reading of the exhaust temperature. <br>

Re:egt gauge

Manifold. With the Isspro directions, easy to accomplish. Since I tow heavy, I wanted accurate readings.<br><br>Bill
