I'm not sure if this is a problem or not but it got me wandering, my EGTs run pretty low. By low i mean i was pulling a featherlite cattle trailer its a tandem axle bumper pull one, so its not very large. As i pulling it I flipped my TW chip to the hottest tune i had and my EGTs never even got over 800 degrees, even when i was getting on it hard they never got very hot. Even without the trailer i rarely see them past 700. Just wandering if this is good or bad, if it helps i have my probe right after my turbo.

My probe on my SD is in the exhauste manifold and 700-800 is about normal for driving/pulling down the road.

The probe needs to be in an exhaust manifold.
Mine will sit at about 500 cruising down the road at 66. I can make it hit 1500 pretty much at will though.

Yeah if you were seeing 800* at the turbo thats definitely over 1000* on the manifolds... move it ASAP.
