A EGT gauge is one of the first things on the list! Appreciate the insight! I read on one of the posts about the starion IC just was unsure about price and availability. Also thank you for answering the question about radiators! It has a what is claimed to be a "JDM" head on it with newer injectors. Looks new. Unsure about quality or manufacturer though. A worry for me. But if SHTF. We rebuild and try again! I'm no stranger to heat issues. I also own a mk3 VR6 and before the rebuild she threw fits about over pressure and heating at least once a week. Pulled the head, head gasket was rotted mildly at some of the coolant passages. Lol. Gotta love it. What about your charge piping for the intercooler? Diameter specs? Stock from the Starion? I'm no stranger to diesel motors. I am a stranger to indirect injection diesels though. Everything I've ever worked on has been common rail injection.
