    If you bought the Auber Instruments controller triple check the unit's menu settings as they sometimes default to Fahrenheit.

    Before tweaking the highest I could get was around 600. This was pre turbo

    I'd be suspecting a calibration issue if nothing seems amiss with the vehicle's operation.

    1000 *F = 538C

    I try to keep under 700C.

    Note that 6mm thermocouples are slow (relative to 3mm units) to react, so if the temps are climbing rapidly, actual temps will be higher than displayed. So in these cases ease back when mid to high 600's are displayed, or grab a lower gear.
