Question Which pyro

What scale pyro should I get? I see some go from 200-1400 deg. and some go from 600-1600. Mounting the probe pre-turbo what temps do you start to back off at. Is there any advantage to one scale over the other. Thanks for any input.

Which pyro

Which guage looks best to you? Go with that. I just ordered my Boost, & Pyro today. Auto Meter Phantom guages. Look great and you can change the lighting in them to a color you like.

Keep it under 600 degrees and i hear your mileage will go up.

Go with the pre-turbo installation.
Purchase the 200 - 1400 range gauge. Do not purchase by looks.
The 200 - 1400 range range will allow you to observe and ensure your cool down to at least 300 degrees before shutting down and also give you readings to the danger zone, 1100 on up.
Short bursts to 1100 degrees or slightly above are OK.

Heatstroked is mostly correct however you can run 1200-1250 sustained, over that and things start to melt
