One more comment on the EGT connection /= accuracy.   The type of termination you use to the thermocouple wire a= t the connector can affect accuracy a little.   Also, a big factor is u= sing the proper wire (type K ) for extensions on the thermocouples.   W= orst case is using copper wire for extension and doing the splice under the c= owl (high temp area).   this will cause significant errors.

Here is cheap:
Hook up your thermocouple leads to a good Fluke Meter, reading Mil= ivolts.
Figure out what type thermocouple probe is in your engine, then go= to the link and read the voltage/temp. selection.
Pick you type thermocouple, and the Farenheit conversion. Print it out a= nd take it flying. Read the milivolts on your Fluke, read the temp off the c= hart.
If the two pyro readings had been running close, then read one on the Fl= uke, the other still connected to the monitor you have been using. Now you c= an see if you have a calibration issue.

"unpowered" or not.  Do you know of a good source for these?  Thanks!  Doug.=
