Wow awesome post! I've learnt a lot - thanks! I'm not looking to touch the engine really, I'm happy with it. I'm just wondering whether an EGT gauge is worth it if I'm not touching the engine. sandcruiser seems to think so. I might not get it as it's quite involved to get the exhaust manifold off as the turbo and the manifold has to come off together, and the gauge costs a fair bit. I can do it, but I don't think it's worth the Effort.

Thanks again for your post!
