Perhaps you should stick an EGT gauge on your car to frighten yourself .
And the only way to map it to control the EGT = more fuel

which = less power
and = worse economy



same as the retarding does




so basically you have to try and map around the high cr to make it safe.



Phil, Karl has performed more tricks coming up with your basemap than a box full of magicians at a kid party

You dont see any of the downsides yourself cause he has done such a good job of your chip that its hidden them from you in the main.



Thank fuck you went to someone who REALLY knows what they are doing!
