Different cars have different tolerances to heat. We can only make baseline EGT suggestions based on wb-afr and knock/timing data. Once its been correlated over a big enough sample size only then could you start to make best guess assumptions on what egt looks like on this car boosted or na.

The second thought is that its already been said here that location of the thermocouple will effect your readout as well as the gauge or acquisiton of the signal, type of signal.

Its not something an everday driver needs or needs to worry about. The knock sensitivity is enough for most people to get by with this car without issue. If youre trying to determine det events based off egt then most likely you know what your doing already.
