Pre vs. Post EGT's
My search didn't turn up the answers I was looking for, but I was curious at how much difference in temperature there is when you measure pre vs. post turbo for the EGT's.
Mine is pre turbo and it takes for ever to get down to 350 degrees. I end up shutting down around 400 degrees so I don't run out of diesel waiting all the time. What is your target temperature to shut down?

Pre v/s post can be 200 to 400 degrees in difference.
I shut mine down most of the time right away and it is about 350. If i had been working it i let it cool down a minute or so.

Mine is set up post turbo now (changing soon) and I won't sustain anything over 950. I still 1100+ quite often but I've always heard 950 is safe. At cruising speeds and shutdown the difference between post and pre aren't as big as WOT. 200-400 is about right.

While cruising the difference would be 200-300 degrees.
