2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Egt
Typically, diesel enthusiasts monitor their engine's exhaust-gas temperature (EGT) in one location: at the flange, where the turbo mounts. What we commonly refer to as EGT should really be called "turbine-inlet temperature" instead. This number is just an approximation of the temperatures seen from all six (or eight) cylinders and tells us very little about what is happening in each individual cylinder. On Project X, we wanted to know how much heat (and thus power) each cylinder was producing.
