800 is about the highest i think. Dont turn the boost down, more air = lower EGTs.

I am about to fit one as part of the kit. I was just asking what range is ok and what is too high.

Hi mate
They are post turbo. I just used the blank plug to install the egt (as per Madman instructions The plug was used for dpf sensor but luckily we don't have these... What are your readings? Cheers |

500 is no worries.
my tgv is tunned a fiar bit and will top 700 if you hold it in the gears, just drive to the EGT gauge! Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

My Alive down pipe doesn't have a facility for fitting a EGT probe. However a good remap and all the usual mods from what I understand should mitigate high prolonged EGT,s. That been said I would still like too have one fitted! The ultraguage gives me the CHT readings and a tell tale of when too ease up.
