Hi  !

To clarify first what I said in my first mail:
The positions at needle

I was measuring temperatures in city, which show position x
(see following row for  x position)
> >  60 C       |   x    130C

Earlier I have had constant  90C (ticker 1)  positions in city.

The measuring probe is right in the Pump and I think that the tems in 
Turbo are much higher or what do you think ?

The reason for wondering is, that I converted 200  20V 3B  engine 
ECU system into AAN/ADU ECU (and some HW changes also)
and now everything unfamiliar rings my bells and 
is worth for thinking about.  If anyone is interesteed in this pervert
conversion 
I have www-pages for it.

Thanks for all comments. 

rgs, 
Tommy
