RE: wtf is a EGT.........
EGT gauge is an Exhaust Gas Temp gauge.
you can manually adjust air fuel ratios by watch EGT temps.
In prop. airplanes we have to manually control mixture as you go up and down
in altitude, you monitor how rich or lean it is by monitoring EGT temps.
It's pointless in an EFI system except for turbo diesel appilications, which use it
for the same purpose. EFI systems use O2 sensors to read un-burnt O2 levels to read
if the mixture is too lean or rich.
