EGT temp

finally hooked up my EGT. I put it post turbo in the neck of the down pipe as I worried about probe going throught turbo if damaged. What numbers are safe? I seem to remember someone saying 900* for post turbo. What temp to shut down?

post is 900 max... at idle it's only about a 100-125 degree difference but at the higher EGT levels it REALLY starts getting further apart...

short bursts of over temp wont blow it up, its the long haul up the hill wide open over temp that can cause damage
