Does the Resistor Mod Actually Reduce EGTs? (2 Viewers)

Sorry, that previous message posted prematurely and I can't delete it for some reason.

Here's the map sensor I bought (Their is actually a whole bunch of generic map sensors available that will work by the looks. I would just stick with one that uses the same coloured wires as in the video below for simplicity sake. When you cut the wires to your existing MAP sensor, leave yourself some wire to reinstall the old map sensor again if something fails. And finally, keep the original MAP sensor in your roadside repair kit with a small soldering iron/kit just in case something ever goes wrong out bush or away from home.

Here is where I learned to wire the map sensor in

That is very helpful! Thank you very much. While those guys don't ship to the US, it looks like I can get that in the US. It looks like this one: GM 3 bar Map Sensor Kit TURBO 3bar 12223861 16040749 | eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/163953817837

Advancing timing very likely will reduce EGT, but you'll often see an increase in coolant temp as a result. Depends where you want the heat to go.

Is that the effect of the higher pressure MAP valve? This is very good to know. It is easier to remove heat through the radiator than through the heads.

Do you think the shaking here is due to something other than motor mounts needing to be replaced?
