don't have an EGT gauge _yet_.  Definately on my short list of mods
coming up for the car.

do you have any more information on that?  I would have thought that low
exhaust flow would let the oil cool down since less heat is being dumped
into the oil via the turbo....


> Is your turbo oil cooled?

yes, and water.  FYI coolant temps stay nice and cool.


> Maybe the turbo heat is getting put into the oil.

could be.. but I would think my coolant temps would rise as well (maybe
not enough to notice?).
