6.7L Cummins Forum

The Edge programmer I just installed gives you the option of either time or Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) so I'd rather go with the EGT rather then time but don't have a clue as to what temp is safe for the Turbocharger? The whole idea of using temp rather then time is to not have the engine running unless absolutely necessary. The default setting is 400F.

Anyone know for sure?

Squid,

I have been told that 300 degrees is the recommedned temp for shutdown to prolong the life of the turbo. I have purchased the Issapro turbo temp monitor instead of a turbo timer based on your previous comment. I just installed my Edge Insight gauges with the pyro and boy am I glad I did. My old 5.9 temps rarely ever got above 900 degrees. My new 6.7 I am seeing 1200-1300 at 65 MPH on highway in a head wind. According to the Edge Regen was not running at the time. I am scared to death to see what it will read when towing my 15k trailer. What are normal EGT's on this motor and what are high EGT's on this motor? The pyro I will be installing for the turbo temp monitor is post turbo approx. 2-3" behind the turbo on the elbow. Thanks for your help

1200-1400 is noramil for a stuck truck under a load such as a headwind. 300* for cool down would be more than adequate but 350* is plenty safe on these new turbos. Plus, 350* will save you a bunch on idle cool down time.
