I have those wastegates too, but I was looking at recirculating them.

I was trying to find a small enough cut out valve to use with the WG;s..... best of both worlds. But they're huge, both in length and in diameter. I never found one that would work.

Or pedestrians in Manhattan.... Full throttle through 1st pop off the rev limiter and watch people jump for cover... I'm such a dick sometimes

It is... it's horrible especially where we have our mani's placed. If we mounted them further forward and higher, it would exponentially easier

They're a few inches back from the flange, but when I'm cruising on the highway, after a while they'll max out at 1900 or 2000 (I don't remember which is max), and just stay there. So I was thinking they might be too close. And occasionally they'll read pretty far off from each other. Other than that they're usually good. I'll try to resist mounting them in the DP lol.

I've seen cars, my own included just get hotter and hotter and hotter the longer they cruise. For this reason I said fuck it and just ran mine @ 12.5:1 and slightly leaner in cruise. I still get close to 20 mpg too but the EGT's are much much lower after extended times cruising. If they're close to each other in temp, I'm inclined to say they they're working ok, even if you are seein EGT's that high... it's when they've always been a few degrees off and then they suddenly spike to a few hundred degrees difference that it makes me think that they are acting up.

Give the guys over at Exhaust Gas Technologies a shout, they have some really thick open tipped sensors that can withstand rotary heat.

I absolutely love doing that. The effect is magnified by the echoing off of the buildings.
