    Topspeed did an excellent job installing the Defi Boost and EGT gauges. Looks very sharp.

    Anyway, tell me if these values are normal:

    Boost:
    Up to ~14 PSI in third (I hope I was WOT, but I'll try it again to make sure)

    EGT:
    Idle: 800 F
    Freeway: 1100 ish
    Max I saw: 1500 F

    Thanks a ton. :)

    Edit: forgot to mention that I was bone stock.

    That sounds about right if it was cold out because of boost creep. Yeah the EGT is normal.

    Boost creep is not uncommon with these temperatures and humidity.

    Really? That's interesting. I thought it only happened with catless exhausts. Shows what I know :dunno

    Thanks!

    PS I love the new gauges! They look great.
