So I pulled the turbo on a friends 97 to fix the leaking actuator rod and noticed on the back side of the pedestal theres a little bolt that looks like a temp sender could go in there? Is this a possility to do this and if so would it be more beneficial to shut down the turbo on oil temp rather than egts?
Just a thought I had when I saw it.

No thought on this? If its dumb just say it you wont hurt my feelings.

If you could watch return oil temps it might be interesting

Ya know I was thinking the same thing, maybe Ill just try it when I get the money together for beans turbo, cause I think you pretty much have to have the ped off to reach that spot, not real sure its the first and only turbo Ive pulled so far. I dont know what the temp "should be" or even if it matters, but Im sure I could figure the norm out over time. Do bb turbos have oil in em too?
thanks Tom

PS nice write ups up above!

Thanks, yes a BB turbo has oil flowing through the cartridge too. I think in addition to lube it also serves the purpose of cooling the turbo.

Yeah I figured, that was a dumb question I thought about that right after I turned the comp off and was hoping noone would see it!
