BTW - what are people doing with all those EGT and CHT inputs? The plugs on my engine are recessed, so I can't get thermocouples on them. Can I just bolt one to the side of the rotor? One for each? With the turbo I only really have one place for an EGT. I don't see how I could measure the EGTof each rotor.

I only hooked up the two EGT's (since I can), and left the other two without wires.  I hooked up thermocouple cable to all 4 CHT's, and twisted/soldered the ends together to make temp probes.  All 4 of these are coiled up on the engine side of the firewall at the moment, and I've used them for measuring various temps as desired.
