Default best value for fuel pressure and egt

Hi,

on my cossie 4*4, i had fit a fule pressure gauge and a egt gauge. the exhaust sender is fit in place of the lambda sensor on the turbo because i didn't want to drill the turbo .

yesterday, i had fit light blue injectors and new chip.

i would like to know if i need to increase the fuel pressure and what is the best value for exhaust temp that i should have ?

the temp is very low so i think that i am too rich

Fuel pressure doesn't necessarily need to be increased - that's why we go up in size, with injectors that flow more fuel.

BUT, you need to know what the chip was set for - from the mapper who created the chip.
