<< While we're on this topic I have a question for those of you out there

 running turbo systems... is it typical on a turbocharged installation to

 include sensors and gauges for both EGT and TIT?  Either way, what are the

 advantages/disadvantages to having either or both on a turbo'ed powerplant?

  >>



 I use EGT (and CHT) to monitor the engine mixture/cooling balance. I lean the

engine to the TIT as it is an average of all the cylinders. EGT and CHT  are

well matched between cylinders in my IV-P, the result of about two dozen test

flights tweaking the baffling.
