I was towing the 5er this weekend and brought my temp gun with me. After a 2 hour drive I stopped and let the EGT cool to 300 (my thermocouple is in the '5 hole' of the exhaust manafold, the usual spot). I temped the:Exhaust manafold - 425Turbo housing intake - 180Turbo housing exhaust - 430Valve cover - 185Exhaust elbow behind turbo - 465Those are from memory, I'll check again and write them down. Just a FYIThanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While you're at it, use your temp gun to shoot the VP, VP computer, and the intake and outlet fuel lines. That would be interesting. I need one of those little tools. :)
