Thanks for the video, some really good tips in there. Did you attach your egt sensor probe to one of the egr blanking plates? Or to the exhaust itself? Bit of debate online as to where the best place is to put it, if it’s attached to the dump pipe your temps can be out by 100-200 degrees which is dangerous. Seen some guys weld a bung to the top egr plate which gives a more accurate reading. Cheers
