    Just wondering if anyone is running one and has it been beneficial? I am thinking about getting a plx EGT sensor because I already have a plx w/b.

    i'm running one. have it about 7 inches behind the turbo. As far as beneficial it's just another check to make sure it gets the fuel it needs to keep cool. The more boost/load that you put on the engine the hotter the exhaust gases will be. Mine average around between 900-1000 degrees normal and go to about 1300-1400 under boost
