Question Pyro reaction?

Well installed a pyro meter tonight and was wondering how do they typically react? I took the machine for a ride and I was suprised how quickly the temps go up and down according to throttle amount. Sitting at a light the temp is a little above 400 F. When getting into the throttle a little bit I saw temps up to 1000 F and then qickly dropping down to around 600 F while crusing.

I park and let the temp get to 300 F before shutting off. About 3-4 minutes later the temp went back up to approx 330 F.

Is this what I am suppose to See?

Thanks

Those temps sound about normal to me. Is your probe pre or post turbo?

Pre

Located between 3 and 4.

Tried to drop the turbo, and put in above but could not break loose those nuts on the studs.

Thought of a breaker bar or heat but decided not to risk snapping.
