900 Celsius = 1652 Fahrenheit

ye it shold, there are 2 places 1 is in the center in the colector where all 4 runners meet, and at number 1 cininder cuz it runs the leenest/hottest

the idea is that its at the end of the manifold so will get slightly more air into it since the air hitting the end of the plenum has nowehere to go at that point where as the others simply draw in what air they can as its rushing by

well - the car shoots 7psi instantly but it looks like it overboost @ high rpms, maybe 9psi.

I need a greddy Boost gauge to record my max boost, just like I did with the EGT. I never knew the temps went that far, and I still dont know how much boost It pushed

I do know that I did 135MPH in a few seconds and the governor kicked in.

60mm greddy boost gauge with memory is awesome, i have it and love it.

i just got 52mm no peak hold for the rest. Boost happens so fast it hard to watch.
 
an EBC is very costly: VERY
And I havnt found one that I like.

I dont have a MBC I just adjust the spring stiffness.

You could always go with the Blitz DTT turbo timer if you want a record of max boost. It also has a warning feature that you can set and it will flash and beep if you exceed your mark.

Just a thought.
 
If you tap it into the DP it's not really going to matter too much on our cars. On the honda's I used to work on it wouldn't matter if we tapped it 1 1/2" away from the #1 runner or right into the dp under the turbo. The turbo is so close to the manifold and downpipe right off the head that the reading is pretty much spot on, granted it would still be better to have it off the #1 cylinder but it really doesn't matter. Now if you had a subaru where the turbo is on the complete opposite side then yes tap the manifold not the dp because the reading would be more accurate.

hukster, man, where were you during the June Hooter's meet? No one believed me when I said the same thing you're saying now.

msp4you - I wouldn't mount an EGT probe in the DP...the turbo takes up so much heat that it's not totally accurate anymore.

Like I said, there was 0 difference on the Honda's when we would tap the EGT either in the manifold or downpipe.
