Obviously, EGT is critical. Those of you like myself who have done a LOT of bench testing know that minute variations in T/C placement can cause MAJOR changes in displayed EGT.
I really cant see the critical point in this, as long as it doesn`t exeed the max temp setting on the ECU?
If the probe is placed somewhere you get a very high temperature, I wouldn`t be worried as long as is never exeeds the max setting.
Temps close to the max is rather rare in the first place. High idle temp may slow the acceleration, but then again the settings would not be optimized.
But can you really measure a higher temp on the probe, than the combustion is inside the chamber? ( Due to a badly placed probe)
