Not saying it wrong in manifold I'm saying it will read higher and fluctuate more both positions will give you a guide. What temps do you get with the probe in manifold do have to lift Off the throttle to Keep it down when car is working hard. If your happy to play round with mixture without knowing what ur standard temps are than have at it, it's ur car.
Standard temps don't matter. The egt limits of diesel engines are very well known. They can only be accurately measured preturbo.
Backing off the pedal is for those with unsafe tunes.
Agreed on unsafe tunes what temp do you get with probe in manifold? Under 750 no problems
I tune for 750c max. My isuzu had no problem with that sustained. Put your own safety factor on that.Quote:

Your 100 degree drop is fiction. That's the problem. It can be up to 300c. That's the problem.Quote:

Do you agree The further you get from compression the lower the temp if i was to put two probes in one at manifold one as close to just after turbo as i can i would get one high reading one lower reading the difference would be fairly uniform so a td5 like my mates with a probe in manifold sits at about 450 to 500c at 100kmr and my sitting at 100 does 300 to 350c. One location is no more right than the other you just need to know what your temps normal ly are and if put in before you remap or put a larger intercooler then you can see if temps have gone up or down.
Agreed and proven with the TD5's here boasting identical map, boost and IC.Quote:

650 post turbo is guaranteed approaching 900 pre turbo.
Why are you even arguing this? A price fitted after the turbo is a waste of time. The temp difference is dynamic, not at all fixed.Quote:
