Haha yea, I had to get my thoughts together before I could explain it. If I'm wrong, I'd still like someone to explain it so I would be correct if I'm ever asked again.

last I saw, egts were normal. EGT gauge has been outta wack past couple of months. Gotta get another probe or gauge

Edit: Just ordered another probe, so hopefully it will be here by Friday and have it installed this weekend. Its been bugging the crap out of me. I hope that is the fix. The techs told me how to test the gauge so hopefully its not the gauge. I bought the whole set for $200. But buying the probe itself is $50 and the EGT gauge is $110???

I wish it was as easy as a simple switch once you hit X PSI, but its not. Its a linear actuation via a diaphram. Basically as you approach higher boost levels, it opens the wastegate to allow exhaust gasses to bypass the turbine of the turbo.

The problem is when its not adjusted properly it can open earlier than its supposed to robbing the turbo of exhaust gasses at a much earlier stage in the process. Mine is so bad that with it connected, i have to really stomp on it to get it to about 18psi. Normal driving never passes 10 psi before 3k rpms. Disconnected, i hit that 18 psi almost mid throttle.

Mine is disconnected.
