> Hi Mark;
The EGT that I have in my turbo manifold is the one that I would use
for leaning purposes if I didn't have an O2 sensor. Unfortunately it is in a
location which is exposed to the combined flow of gas from both rotors,
mostly due to the fact that this was the location of the hole that I had to
plug from the removal of the turbo switching valve (not wastegate). It would
be difficult, but not impossible to add 2 EGT's right at the exit from each
rotor in the stock turbo manifold. Right now I have no reason to suspect
that I have a mixture imbalance between rotors, however it would be
desirable to know for sure. Add this to the long list of items to address.
The EGT located downstream of the turbo was installed mostly for
curiosity of what the temp drop trough the turbo is. And the Digitron that I
was previously using to measure and display temps had 2 inputs, so why not
use them?
