Question Edge Evolution Recommends Installing an EGT?

Can anyone tell me more about the EGT and a 2005-06 F-150? Do these trucks come with an EGT installed? If so, why does Edge suggest installing one? If they don't come with one, does anyone know where to get one and what the steps are to installing and wiring the EGT?

EGT (exhaust gas temp), an EGT gauge is not needed on vehicles without turbos. Where did you read that Edge says that you need one?

They're refering to diesel trucks..EGT=exhaust gas temps and if they get over 1250F for too long the turbo goes bye-bye. Not needed for gas trucks.
