[Plautos]

without sounding like a complete idiot ,what does egt stand for?

Exhaust gas temperature.

Lol - for the third time : YES within the specifications handed down by the OEM's & equipment manufacturers.

What is your EGT strategy?

Ok so your saying that your EGT's are stock or close to it .

What is the optimum a/f ratio for a mk4 gti Golf to retain these standard EGT's on an Oettinger chip ?

[Bug_racer]

I do not understand this fight about EGT's.

I believe once we give more power to the engine it will raise the EGT anyway.

I think we should get worried when something melts, sparkplugs and the turbo shaft for example or if we have loss of power at extreme conditions. I’m using NGK number 9 and pushing all the fuel I can, to get the EGT as low as possible.

EGT's and lambda are probably the most critical tuning sensors things that need to be looked at to determine a correct tune . Too high you melt pistons / damage rings . Too low and you'll never reach the turbo's true potential .

The heat range of a plug is pretty important as well , including the gap in trying to maintain stable egt's

what will a ko4 polo gti with downpipe do 0-100 please

[Bug_racer]

What supporting modifications ?

My guess is 6.xx seconds, with traction once again being an issue.

[vwthunder]

Guessing 0-100 times wouldnt be very good, due to wheelspin and 1st gear being a waste of time, 2nd gear is when a polo really shines

Even with a K03 first gear is very wheel spinny

0-100 times are only good for red light racers. even a chipped K03S has torque that comes on like a ton of bricks, which is where it matters.

anyone that actually has a ko4 with just down pipe 0-100 would be great
