ya know I didnt... I know I should have, but i didnt have an extra pyro probe and I do have a bit of diesel experiance so i didnt keep my foot buried into it. Judging on how much black smoke its pushin and how hard it pulls, im pretty confident egt's would be over 1000*F with out much issue. I do have another pyro probe now and im itchin for some speed so I might find out?

Now if I can manage to get a calm'er idle out of it and get things adjusted well, with a bigger more efficiant turbo and an intercooler and keep EGT's manageable, it would make for a pretty quick ride. Specially considering how relaxed these 617's are stock/lightly modded. Just needs more air to burn with all that fuel. Even it its still a bit warm, i dont see why i couldnt make some pump adjustments to get it in the good.

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!
