Pyrometer Temp Color Scale

[HammerWerf]

Folks,

I have purchased an ISSPRO Pyrometer model R607T for my suburban. In examining the colored scale, I noted that the yellow( caution) line starts at 1000*F. with the Red(danger) starting at 1300*F. These values seem high when compared to the temperatures discussed here.

Which side of the Turbo is this pyrometer designed for? And where whould be a good place to install the probe?

Thanks for the help.

I dont know the model number of my pyro,however,the yellow starts at 875 and turns to red at 1000. It is designed to install after the turbo in the down pipe. I would assume that your's is designed to install in the exhaust manifold,before the turbo. Mine is also "ISSAPRO"
Have fun. :confused:

Hammerwerf,
I also have the ISSPRO R3607T. It is the pre turbo gauge.
Post turbo is R3607VR.
Believe most put the probe in the crossover pipe about 2" below the flange.
If I remember correctly this side is about 200 degrees hotter than post turbo. :confused
