Default Does the EFU have the ability to read EGT's? Is it an option?

When I had a turbo truck I ran an EGT guage and determined the cooldown time via that(saved me the cost of a timer). It was also good on long extended boost situations (up hills) to watch and back out of the boost if it was getting too hot.

I'd like that ability on this turbo as well.

TIA

Yes. It is an add-on module.

Does it require its own sensor or use a factory one?

Default Not at the moment it's not.

If G2 is ever released then it could pull the data from the ecu. But for now it's not an option.<ul><li><a href="http://techreactions.com/efuaccessory.htm">http://techreactions.com/efuaccessory.htm</a</li></ul>

If we did have an amplifier a/d converter for it it would require additional thermocouples
