The limit of EGT??
I've been wondering the limit of exaust gas temp on my stock turbo. I've been using the turbo up to 950 degree on my EGT gause. I don't know how much heat the stock turbo can endure.
Tell me the limit, plz.

Depends on the EGT brand and where the probe is located?
Stock ECU?

The gauge is HKS. I don't know where the probe is installed, though. And I'm using the stock ECU.
Help me~

Mine is located in the downpipe near the O2 sensor and 1200 F is routine, 1400 F at 148 mph

720C WOT
Up to 800C under cruising
480C at idle
This is for probe in downpipe.

If probe is in the turbo manifold, WOT can go as high as 800C-820C.
