A discussion on EGT and Exhaust back pressure on an OM606
Just a quick update on my egt woes. My DSL1 tune had some flaky max duty cycle numbers. Thanks to Baldurs advice pinpointing it, I have found higher (80%) duty cycles in the 1000-2500 range for effective throttle ranges in the 30-80 % ranges have brought the max egt's way down to the mid 1100F range with nice boost up to 2500 mb where I capped it. The 648 turbo should easily produce 3000 mb but right now my emap is tracking about 1.5 x boost so until I decide to put a real tube exhaust header and bigger IP elements in it, i'm leaving well enough alone. Spoolup boost is improved tremendously resulting in some seriously sweet launches. How a 3 liter can launch a 5500 pound truck with oversize tires is nothing short of amazing. The V10 gasser torque converter I'm running now helps with the higher stall. As always, kudos to Baldur and I recommend a good vgt turbo for applications similar to mine. Finally I can get to fueling tweaks to maximize economy although I'm already getting 17 mpg in town.
