Hi! I have installed a 1Z (similar to AHU) VW TDI into a 91 Vanagon. I will surely be driving it in the mountains and expect to be pulling a trailer some. I am concerned about the possiblity of damaging the turbo or engine by pushing it too hard. I have been told installing a Exhaust Gas Temp Gauge, sometimes called a Turbine Inlet Temp gauge (the inlet to the exhaust side, not the cool air side) will let one see when pushing the engine too hard and avoid it by backing off. I would appreciate oppinions on this.
Thanks!
Mike
