A discussion on EGT and Exhaust back pressure on an OM606
Yes- I'm using overdrive. I can spike EGT in any gear except 1st but only because it won't stay in 1st long enough to register enough rise on the pyro. TC locked or unlocked- I have more than enough fuel - even with high boost- to spike EGT above safe levels.
To be perfectly clear- I have a direct read boost gauge which is reading "relative" to atmosphere - "boost" - ... as well as my MAP sensor which is reading absolute. My boost target table (absolute) via the MAP is set to 2750 mB (approx. 1.75 bar -relative) or about 26 PSI of "boost". I'm getting that amount of boost easily and I can spike 30 Psi momentarily until VNT control stabilizes it at 26 psi. Even with my fuel map backed off to 90% of max fueling, I can easily spike 1500F on my EGT gauge in any gear above 1st.
I have A huge intercooler and my 3" exhaust is very free flowing but I know my current turbo's hot side is a little small as my EMAP at higher RPM can get above 4000 mB. BUT even before I see high EMAP, I see very high EGT when I floor it.
