IIRC for tuning purposes you want to have it around 1380 degrees during WOT.


During hard driving through alaskan hills ive seen up to 1500 degrees. Im not saying thats the limit, but my car is fine and its been there a couple times.

how would i know, well i think cause i got the egt and it tells me at what et my engine is running, and how do i tell the difference? very simple the gauge will tell you at what et the engine is running 1100, 1500 etc. i hope you were kidding when you ask that question cause is pretty dumb.

oh man, I keep blowing exhaust gaskets, so I bought some stuff called permatex ultra copper high temp silicone gasket maker. I still put in a new gasket but I also put some of that around it hoping it would make a better seal. But it says it only goes up to 700 degress F (371 C) Should I start heading to the car parts store again?

700 degree silicone won't hold up on a turbo rotary exhaust man.
