It depends on how close it is to the actual turbo. If it is close to the turbo, your readings will be higher than normal and will allow for a hotter temp reading. You should be around 3 at idle, or before you actualy turn your car off. I wouldn't let it get past 9, depending on where the coupler is mounted of course.
