    Default Relocating Factory egt sensor and using high presssure map senor?

    Yo EFI!

    I've spent some time searching the internet for answers to a few questions and I'm coming up empty handed.

    1- Why not relocates the factory egt sensor into the manifold to get accurate pre-turbo temps? If it cannot read high enough, we should be able to wire in the appropriate aftermarket sensor and scale appropriately given software support.
    2- No ability to upgrade the factory map sensor to read higher pressure. I see a few options out there for sensors but I do not see options to scale any engine sensors in EFI live.

    I realize everyone relies on aftermarket gauges but there is no actual safety in using them (no de-fuel or boost limitation) other than a warning you may have programmed. Being able to monitor accurate high pressure boost and egt sensors through the factory ecu would allow us to tune quite a bit of safety for overboost and overtemp or low fuel pressure scenarios. I can tune a modern gasser to 800+hp and make it almost idiot proof because of the control available with EFI live, no so with diesels. Maybe I'm asking too much, I'm not a software engineer so I rely 100% on the software provided and it seems the diesel tuning options are limited if you are a non-engineer.....

    Stoked to hear opinions/input,
    Nick
