As I learn more about these guages and EGT temps, not to mention boost, I realize how useful they can be.Although I had heard of it on this and other forums I was amazed at how quickly the EGT's can increase. We have the "warning light on our guage set to activate at 1250 degrees EGT and it flickered at me more than once on not so steep grades in Southern Ohio last weekend., Right now I monitor EGT and transmission temp on the display. it is also set to auto cycle through Coolant temp,Oil pressure, Oil temp, engine load,When we get the latest re flash we will add Horsepower and instantaneous mpg. Of course Boost and RPM are monitored by the onboard guages so I have a fairly good picture of what is going on under the hood. As we learn more we may change or add to what we monitor.
