okie dokie well i just got done turning up the old pump and she blows some pretty serious coal when pulling a hill and i still didnt get above 500 degrees after i moved the pyrometer to the manifold between #6 and #8 cylinder so do u think it can stand to be turned up more or does ambient temp play a role in it as well?
I would wait to turn anything up until you move the probe.
Ambient temperature or more important intake temperature plays a big role. Get cold out side air in to the intake and your EGT will come down, pull from the engine compartment and it goes up. With a turbo motor it isn't hard to get a 200 degree EGT difference just by sealing the intake from the engine compartment and get air from in front of the radiator.
