egt gage question

Re:egt gage question
Your exhaust temps are important because it tells you if you are about to melt a piston or something, especially if you like to stay under boost for a long time like on the expressway or something. If the EGT goes too high, by by engine. Also, if your timing is too retarded your EGTs will go up high, so it's good to have to tune your timing. That's all I got for now.

Well, in both directions, An overly advanced ignition results in overly high pressures and temperatures, an overly retarded ignition results in unfinished combustion, bad fuel economy and high exhaust temps (the burn is completed in the exhaust manifold)
Rally cars use this when they shift, to keep the turbo spooled, there it's called anti-lag and it EATS turbos.
