Scanguage and exhaust gas temperature EGT

Scangauge reads nothing directly - it just tacts into the ECU sensor readings. So if the ECU reads EGT and either of those points then Scangauge might be able to display those those readings but if the ECU does not then Scangauge cannot.

The terms RECORD and READ are two different things and when you say record do you mean record or reading it is showing you? Sorry, but terminology in technical electronics is best kept precise.
I can't imagine how the scanX can show several different readings of a catalytic converter if that is what you mean. If it has a sensor, then as Garrycol said only the info fed to the ECU is presentable by the Scangauge.

So unless there is an EGT sensor in your vehicle as std equipment which the ECU monitors then there is no inputs or feeds of such info to a Scangauge.
Unless the vehicle is specifically built with an EGT system then all after market types either fitted pre or post turbo will just be a dedicated gauge to show the EGT temp.

If you don't already know, the same vehicle, pre and post turbo, will have a difference of around 200 Deg C because it is the turbo which uses heat energy to drive the turbo to create its effect.
The hot gasses go from a pressured state to a less pressured state within a short distance and any expansion drops the heat value of the gas. Exactly the same principle as a compressed gas gets hot, only frack to bunt.
I am unaware of any temp devices which can be added to a scangauge to make it read and display such info. if you find any let me know cos I got lots of things I want to read with mine.

John,

you may have mis-interpreted my post where I talked about EGTs, Scangauge and transmission fluid temps.

The Scangauge will not measure EGTs, unfortunately. You need to instal EGT sensors and have a dedicated gauge.

The Scangauge will measure transmission temps.

FYI

I had a Tunit chip and was happy with it but once I started towing a heavy off road 'van I became uncomfortable with not knowing the EGT (I have a scan guage fitted)

I fitted a dedicated EGT and drove according to conditions but became nervous one day when towing the heavy 'van up a huge long hill and needed to back off......not the best when trying to move forward uphill.......(I fly as well.... so I know what you mean in relation to your experience)...bit like reducing power on a takeoff/climb!..........

What i have done is remove my Tunit chip and replace with a "Chip it"......(see their website).....reason I changed was simply the fact that their chip monitors the EGT and responds accordingly when the upper set point/alarm point is reached and will revert to factory so you can keep driving normally

next time... same hill I just drove comfortably knowing that if the EGT set max was reached I was still maintained accelerator pressure and kept climbing!

Peace of mind........to my knowlege the "Chip it' is the only one that has this ability

no affliation etc.
