EGT's are off by 100 degrees or more.
I was wondering if any one has any suggestions/ideas why my EGT's are off. During warm up the front rotor housing reads about 1210 degrees and the rear rotor housing reads around 1080. Now if I drive it hard it tends to narrow the gap. Is this OK? Should the temperature vary from front to rear rotor housing? Which one should be hotter? Any info would be much appreciated.

It's more common to have the rear rotor read hotter under WOT operation, but it depends how the probes are positioned.
There has been speculation about the temperature differences between the two rotors. Some think that intake manifold design plays a big role; others think it is more a matter of the cooling system design, since coolant flows through the front rotor first.
Are these probes located in the stock FD exhaust manifold?

So here's my setup. Thanks for the input. I'm gonna double check I plugged the wires to the gauge correctly. Is 100 degrees something I should worry about?
