Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have my Exhaust Gas Temperature gauge (or Pyro) hooked up now. im getting ready to change my timing chain after 27tho klicks. so i want to turn up the fuel and boost to 1 bar i run at 800 c now on the the EGT so if i turn fuel and boost to match 800 c on the EGT ill should be safe right. or is 1 bar to much for a 2.8tdi? and where is the fuel screw at? is this it

Your pyro probe must be before the turbop to be getting figures like that. 800 is getting up there! From everythihng I have read you wounld't be wanting to go over the 750ish except for a very brief period.

If you raise your boost without altering your fuel you should get those temps to come down nicely. If you as more boost and fuel they will only go higher.

I thought a 2.8 was about 1 bar from factory?

ive only seen mine get as hi as .7 bar
is that the fuel screw in th pic i gave

can you post a pic of where you installed the EGT sensor?

My 2.8td is running 15psi @ peak boost.

How did you go with the pyro???
Can you post pics of the set up???
I have heard that the spring looses it spring in the waste gate controller so most will have lower then stock boost levels

here im sorry i already posted them. still looking for the fuel screw i put a K&N filter and took of the exhaust to install a 3inch turbo back and the 2.8 came alive. the exhaust temp is now below 700.
