Noddle Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 on my L24, I've seen my EGT (before turbo) hit a little over 800C, but that only pushing a few gears, not racing.. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardBlack Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I've gotten stock Audi's glowing before. I've also seen EGT's downstream from the turbo pass 900 and touch 1000 degrees C on some cars, but not an L motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 My turbo glows all the time. Almost anytime I park it I open the hood. At night it's always at least a little red. Is that correct? I dunno. It's been that way on and off depending on the tune. Nowt my AFR's seem dialed in, and my timing seems correct, so I guess it should glow a little. Well, what temp does cast iron visibly glow? 900F and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
