Pyro - 1300 degrees is about max. If your thermocouple is pre-turbo.
Boost - Can't overboost w/ stock injectors
Trans - I like mine to stay about 150-175 degrees. Wouldn't want it to get too far above 200.

There's a red line going to the little goldish cannister on the turbo housing, you can see it clearly from the driver's side front looking at the turbo. Just disconnect it and it will plug right onto the plug sticking out of the block where it originates. Really quick and easy, no tools and not very dirty. It's a lunchtime mod.

Awesome,
I can't wait to hear how the install goes, I'm going to be pulling the trigger on an exhaust within a month and want to hear how the MBRP does on the Ex. I have read many good things about the F2/350s but One exhaust shop said he wouldn't sell them anymore.
To keep things OT,
I can't wait to sell the gauges out of my old car so I can get the right ones for the Ex! I have a couple different ideas for placement that will hopefully pan out. Thanks for posting the safe temps, I will have to bookmark this one!

I haven't done a lot of driving with it, but seems the sound is mellow. Standing next to the truck at idle sound pretty similar to the BTM I had on. I'm glad it wasn't too loud, the sound would really carry through the excursion. When the family is in the car, that's not a good thing! Anyway, I really like it! Here's a pic. (pardon the dirt)
