....and that's probably why the mount hole for the EGT is around 10 o'clock on a JetJoe....

You will be abble to start the turbine, but never will know the real max temp on it.

Well...I'm not sure I really need to know the temp of an obvious hot-spot - it's not the real average temp of the Turbine and would only confuse the FADEC.
And it usually only occurs during start-up anyways, so the Turbine isn't under all that much stress at the time.
Sure, if it's always there once the Turbine is 'running', then I can see a problem, and it's probably time to open the Turbine up and have a look inside to see what's causing it. I'm thinking that if its already red hot at idle, it's going to cause a melt-down once you juice it up, yah?
