If you do run it there(post) then you're going to have to add ~200 degrees to your readings while your running down the road. So if you got post turbo and your reading 1050 then your at ~1250 pre-turbo. I'm horrible at "on-the-fly" math even if it's simple addition so I just stick with one reading and on cool down(when I had the VGT turbo and I wasn't using synthetic oil(you don't have to worry about cool down time as much with synthetic oil as regular dino oil)) I wait til it hits ~400 degrees. Depending on how hard you have been running the truck and how hot the tune is, that can vary how long it takes the truck to get to that ~400 reading.
