Just got a gutted uppipe not sure if I should put the EGT back in or just plug it with a bolt. If I put in the EGT, will it burn out?

Thanks!

 

Just plug the hole and put a 2.2K ohm 1/2 watt resistor in the female end of the connector. Cover it with electrical tape and tuck it away.

 

Thanks that's what i've read from other sources. Will the EGT actually burn out if I leave it in there or will it just throw CELs?

 

I'm also getting an AP which I know can clear CELs

 

I asked GST the same question. They told me the EGT sensor will not blow out (at least on stage 2). Somewhat of an urban legend. It also serves as a good plug. Just make sure you do the resistor mod to the plug.

 

Are you using your EGT as plug with no problems?

I saw one guy post on nasioc saying he used his EGT for over 20k for logging w/o probs. I think I'm gonna grind off the EGT probe and use as a plug and solder in the resistor somehow so everything looks untouched

I doubt anyone will look closely at my uppipe but if I get pulled over or smogged, that is one piece I do not want to replace!
