Hi All,
I know this subject has been done in one form or another several times, but I would like to hear from people that still have the stock exhaust as I think that is the issue.
I have purchased a Dom 3 from Chipit, not fitted yet. I decided to fit the EGT gauge that I purchased from them at the time, electronic gauge, red readout and fast updates, just to get some base line readings before I fitting the chip, so I would know what the chip was doing. I was shocked to see the temp hit 650C on a long hill, not all that steep, with a headwind!! Once I reached the top it quickly fell back to 500, and on the open road with a headwind sat around the 440-480C.
If I am hitting that without the chip, how much will i be able to use the chip before it detunes???
The pyro is just below the shroud, just above the bend on the dump pipe, which I suppose would be 300-400mm from the actual turbo, which means it could be reading 100C or less than actual temps at the turbo.
I am going to fit a spal underslung intercooler fan, as I believe this would help, But could I get some feedback on what peoples EGT's are with the stock exhaust and no chip please.....
