Scotty II question

[CThomsen]

Has anyone else noticed an increased peak EGT after installing a Scott II? My may egt went up ~100 degrees. Runs cooler by 50-75 when cruising but hotter when accelerating fast.

You have got to be kidding!

No, I'm serious. And yes I did cut the hole in the cowl.

Do you have the UNI, K&N or the AFE filter??



I have the UNI. hole cut in cowl. I noticed a pretty significant peak drop. I had the 10 plate in, slightly foward before the scotty II. I could hit over 1500* in 4th gear, not sure how much over though cause thats all my gauge reads.

With the Scotty and plate in same location, 4th was right around 1400*, so I saw at least 100* reduction.

Now that I have more fuel and different turbo, the scotty works even better I think. I love it. I wish it was even louder.

I have the UNI filter. I don't understand why my EGT's are up. I've made no other mods recently

Did you over-oil it?? Maybe to much oil is causing a restriction?

I wash & oil mine then let it stand for a year vertically to dry and drip if it needs to.

A year?? Seriously?? heck, I usually wash mine, let it dry, and then oil it and run it shortly after.

I think if you are oiling it enough for it to drip, thats way to much oil!!! Just my opinion... I dont use much oil.

It came oiled. Looked pretty wet so I let it stand for a couple of days before installing.
