EGT temprature range.
So I now have EGT and boost gauges. What is the REASONABLE range for EGT, and when does it become problematic?

500c and over I would start backing off big time
CRD can tolerate slightly higher temps

x2 on the back off at 500C. As threedogs said, the EGT's with a complete factory boost controlled CRD would scare some people, but "supposedly" they are built to handle it.

Thanks for that. I actually have the extra warning light set to come on at 500c, as well as the gauge warning light, so that will do.

hey guys. I was just wondering where you bought your egt and boost gauge kits from? I have seen some cheap ones going on ebay, but not sure if the quality is there that I will need for them to last.
Also, should I go digital or analogue gauge?
any help would be appreciated
Cheers

Im not a fan of digital as they tend to flicker a bit IMO.
VDO make a good guage, but any of the known brands would work

My CRD sits around 380-450 whilst driving 100km/hr at 10psi. The probe is post turbo in the dump pipe. Driving up the SE freeway out of Adelaide, it quickly climbed to 650-680 whilst doing 80km/hr - Overdrive off. Soon as I crest the top, it plummets back down.
I thought this was fairly normal behaviour?? perhaps not! 
I have DP Chip and 2.75" exhaust

If your after a quality EGT gauge check out this mob http://www.thermoguard.com.au/ can't buy them in the shops but order direct from them. Had one in my GQ 4-5 years now and never missed a beat.
