Thread: EGT/Boost Gauge Questions

Heres where I put mine - cheap dash pod from Ebay. Also where EGT sender located - get someone to do it unless you are very good. Have to take manifold off to drill and tap for sender so as to be absolutely certain no frass makes it way through turbo.

Ok thanks,

I was wondering about drilling swarf making its way through the turbo.

That looks like a very neat install.

Cheers

Without question. Your engine and drive train will now be considered out of warranty.. or at the very least you will be up for an argument.

can u not put the egt after the turbo then u wouldn't need to worry about swarf

I think if you sample the temp post turbo you have to factor in a large temp drop due to the drop in pressure after the turbine. I stand to be corrected though.

The sensor needs to be in front of the turbo to get an acurate reading.

Opening up an old post again.....

Guys, Just looking for some advice here......

I'm going to have to replace my Exhaust Manifold in the near future as it has a crack in it.... My question is should I get a port welded/drilled into the replacement Exhaust Manifold while it's out in prep for a future installation of an EGT Gauge?

I know quite a few people run EGT gauges in their Tdi300's, etc but in a 2.4 Tdci - how important are they really?

Mine has the Bruce Davis remap; larger IC & Air intake, centre Muffler removed; std radiator.... so, do I really need an EGT or is it more beneficial if towing?
