    As I underastand it (as a petrol driver) it;s partially the fuelling but once tuned correctly how hard you drive it. High temps can be induced especial when towing and on long hills etc under load. So you need to keep an eye on it. Its a cheap insurance type of thing.

    As I explained to a friend yesterday who was going to spend $700+ on a oil cooler with a thermostat. It doesn't get cold enough to worry about bypassing the cooler, he warms it up anyway and multigrade oils go towards compensating for temps. But he wasn't planning on fitting an oil temp or pressure gauge, both of which will tell him far more about what the engine is suffering than guessing it's ok because chinaman joes speedshop said this is the cooler you need.

    thanks

    Thanks for that. I'll do some research now and try figure out for myself what safe temperature are and i recall already having read some threads on the temp gauge installation. there's kits sold i think. I believe some people were saying 400 or 500 C is getting high?

    I think you'll find 400-500 is fine but 650 and over is pushing the safe limit.

    Pre turbo you can push to 650 winding up the waste gate a little helps.

    Really briefly and simply.

    Boost pressure runs along with your engine making hhorsepower, egt is your enginen trying to make torque.

    The tdo(x)00 holds together nicely at say 30psi and 650. But you don't want to push either number too much more than that for either value and definstely not at the same timem
