I know this could go on for days but I was woundering what the highest pre turbo temps you guys have seen with no damage or at least no damage that you have noticed yet!!! I hit 1450 today

thanks

 

I pegged my 1600* gauge for a second. I was towing and forgot to turn the comp down to level 1 I think of it as cleaning the carbon out of the cylinders I normally dont let it get above 1300*.

 

My 1st gen has seen over 1800 several times.

 

Yikes

 

I can peg my 1600 deg. gauge really easy, ive done it a few times. hate to do it though, ive been smokin the tires and i know the temps hit 1700- maybe 1900 cause it pegged the gauge and i left it pegged for maybe 6-7 seconds. im sure my motor loves me. hahaha

 

I think I melted my guage. I do about 6 pulls a year plus I tow a lot during the summer. this last pull it went from the normal PEG position to 300* then 0* and has never worked again. Actually I think the brain box went out but since I have white faced guages in the dash I might as well get boost and pyro guage to match.

Im pretty sure mines been around 2k.

 

On my old setup, we've seen over 1800 before, during pulls. On this etup the highest I can hit is 1550-1600.

 

My 01 never went over 1300 and normally 1150--1200 when towing hard. I have rebuilt it twice because of melted #6 the first time and melted number1 the second time

Total of 178000 miles.

 

Well

ive seen 1400 post turbo on my Pyro before, but only once tho... lol

i have no clue, my gauge only goes to 1600 and with the boxes on, it pegs it quickly which is not good, i think i need some twins.

 

is the twins or a larger turbo THE answer to cooler egt's ?

 

either ways you go

twins will better keep your egts cooler from the start, whereas a large single will let them get a little higher before it actually starts to kill the egts.. id say twins all the way.. Which is why i want em

Twins if you have the $$
