Took it for another drive today after getting the settings right on the egt gauge and here are the temp figures. I'm adding 200c as suggested. Cruising @ 100 ks relatively flat hwy 400-450c. Climbing long steep Hill 100ks 650- 700c.

So I figure that's not too bad.

There's a good post by blcknight.aus about Td5s and EGTs.

650 = fine
700 = theoretically fine but bad for fuel economy
750 = you're starting to push it
800 and up = bad, I think Dave's words were something along the lines of "your mechanic will start to use words like 'butcher' and 'inept' and 'why did you fit a pyro if you weren't going to pay attention to it'

I'm wrapped I've got one to monitor egts now. Bloody good investment. I'll be watching it and driving accordingly.
