BogMonster Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Yeah I think EGT If the ETC was getting to 800*C I think you'd see the brake discs glowing and probably need to seriously think about a change of driving style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Well that was a result! Having an EGT gauge does just that it allows you to monitor easily any adjustments you've done. good value to save the engine for a smallish outlay. running large amounts of boost/too much fuelling will of course damage things normally the first to let go is the exhaust manifold, it cracks. 200-300TDIs pretty much the same one just an evolution of the other 200 agricultural runs less boost standard 300 refined but a little more fragile. Andy at Alisport added to much fuel when I had the intercooler fitted , you get the power increase but fuel consumption dropped to 14mpg so I adjusted it myself back to more reasonable proportions. if you really want large boost a hybrid Turbo is the way to go but TDI headgaskets aren't really upto to much extra. perhaps easier to lose weight from the vehicle than spend lots on tuning products.
