EGT on mine, WOT going up hill at 100km/hr can get to about 600

Wastegate set to open at about 15 so it should vary up to 15 & then flat line at that. For some time I had a stuck closed wastegate, boost would run up to about 25 & then computer would back off fuel so as not to blow it up. I think its only the later model ones with a MAP on the inlet manifold that has this protection. The older ones with a MAF near the air filter probably would go higher. Not suggesting any one try & run with wastegate disabled of extended rime. May get away with an extra spring on the wastegate actuator & run up to 20 psi for short periods.

If you run 20psi you will need to replace the spring cause the gate opens.
Ive got a 20psi spring in mine. Had the 25psi for a while.

the EGT is the green one under the CD player the rectangle one, the other 2 round ones are boost and water temp



the rubber hose going onto the intake is the boost line





can see my nice big dump pipe
