I was wondering what the gauge should run at. Before my rebuild it was running around 600, just driving normal on the interstate around 65-70mph now it runs 700? Just wondering if thats ok TIA

that is fine just dont go above 850 running on the highway for constant amount of time.

 

ill second that... if i were u id even try to stay under 800 just to be safe... but 850 for a short amount of time is fine

 

wierd!!! while crusing at 70mph, my egt is like 800C. my probe is 1.5" away on the 3rd cylinder.... what gives???

also, i noticed that mine egt is proportionate to my speed. i checked the readings on dyno, and noticed that for 12.5 a/f ratio, the egt is about 750C...

 

this is in celsius right?
mine is around 1200 F at 70 mph

 

If your EGT probes aren't mounted in the same place, you're all comparing apples to oranges. Before and after the turbo makes a big difference. The turbo itself is a big heat sink.
