how to reduce the egt temp? is there any solution , anything to do that can help reduce it? if i'm on the highway at 120km/h i'm near 1000 degree and if i pull in 5th it grow up really fast and i dont like it near 1500 i can blew my headgasket or do other damage i dont want it do appen, so want to know what i can do to reduce the temp

Whats done to the car?

3 inch perrin down pipe,up pipe, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, walbro 255, 550 cc injector ,revtronix stage 2 chip, 16g turbo , sti v4 intercooler, jecs maf, sounds like this i forget some minor things i'm sure ...

That's not bad. I cruise at over 1200. Getting close to 1500 is fairly normal.


Part of why your high load EGT's could very well be due to conservative timing. The less advance, the higher the EGT's, since the charge is burning later. If it was hotter than that, I'd be worried about valves, but you seem to be sitting decent.


Where is your probe mounted? I used to have mine mounted in a funny spot (where the collector comes together before the uppipe) and I'd see over 1700. That has to do with the turbulence at that spot. 2.5 years and I didn't burn my motor down...

my probe is mounted in the downpipe , i know the temp is not a huge problem but just wanted to know if it was possible to do something to keep it as low as possible ,will be better i think
