Where is your pyro taped at, pre or post turbo, are you using the outlook monitor, or an anlog guage to measure that, mine climbs to 1500 easily when gettin into it....

i tapped in the exaust pipe just after where the manifold bolts to it...i am not using an outlook....the guages are...auto meter sportcomp....when i stomp it the temp will swing up fast to like 1100 but as soon as i let of it immeadiately goes back to like 800 or so then back to 500..
