How come my WRX EGT are so high? pls help.

Here is the mod of my WRX.

Turboxs unichip mapped with stage 1 code.
Apexi AVC-R
Removed intake silencer
EGT mounted at the 'flat point' of the driver side header.

I have constantly hit 840C around 4500rpm at 3rd gear even when I turned my AVC-R off (max ~0.5 bar). Does anybody has the same problem that Ive seen? The EGT is around 450-500 at idle, I assume it's fine right? I have an additional boost guage which show about the same boost level. So, should I remove the unichip??? or my AVC-R??

thanks

first tell us where the egt sensor is mounted and then we can see what the temps should be for the location.

The EGT sensor is mounted at the flat point of the drivers side header. The flat spot (bung) is near to the elbow joint. I followed the instruction from one of the member.

If you have been using a KN air cleaner for awhile you need to clean your MAF sensor.

I have a blitz panel filter, but I have used it for only a few months. How and what should i use to clean the MAF sensor anyway?

Ah, You only have to be concerned if you put oil on your air filter, it eventually gets on the MAF... If thats your situation, gently clean off the oil with something.. I used gas...

I did not put oil on the filter when I put it in, but I assume it may have some there. So can I use alochol to clean it instead? what else should I look at beside to clean the MAP sensor?
