Re: What Temp and boost for 1hz turbo

The auto elec who installed the pyro put the temp sender in the exhaust right behind the turbo, is that a correct spot? so you wouldnt want your temps to go over 650 max?
Cheers for the help

Do you have a cab lift? I would say 2inch suspension with 35s will rub. My 60 had 3"suspension and 2 ...
