Bd Pyro Gauge
i recently installed a bd pyro 2 weeks ago and put it to a test toaday and i could not get it over 850 degress (still green zone) at 1500 feet and doin 80mph up to 2500feet w/the tuner set to high performance w/a 1400 lb load in the back up a ten percent grade!..could this be?..mb my pyro is malfuntioning?...done the same thing on the same hill for years!..any body else got a pyro one like this...its not a cheap unit in fact the quality is rite up there compared to some other gauges ive seen ps installed the probe post turbo...
i just got off the phone w/BD and he says add 200 degress cause im post turbo...any ideas on that? 1050-1100 degrees sounds about rite to me

Thing is, your actual temp could be 200-500 degrees off, depending on boost, ambient air temps, speed, load, etc. So going uphill like that you may have been in the safe zone, or you may have been in the red. It's hard to tell with a post turbo mounted probe. Remember that heat is energy, so a lot of the exhaust heat is absorbed by the turbo itself.
