What are safe limits on EGT temps pre turbo (1\2 inch inside the manifold outlet) on our engines? I've seen a few discussions, but no definitive answers. I'd love to hear from Keith if he wouldn't mind chiming in. |

I remember kieth telling me 1380° for 20 min is safe. |

I've pushed mine past 1,600° twice and have had no bad consequences. It's all in being conscious of your actions, I knew what I was doing (4wd donuts) was going to shoot the EGTs up, so when it flew past 1400 I stopped. It pegged 1600 and then fell back down quickly. |

Thanks for the info. What's the opinion on shut down temperature? |

I like to shut down below 400*. (pre-turbo). |
