I spoke with my contact at Superchips. He stated that the only way the VIVID tuner, # SU518550, can read EGTs is if the vehicle already has a sensor and probe in place and a pyrometer gauge. Then, the VIVID unit can read that information and tell you the EGTs on its display. For vehicles that are not set up with a probe and gauge in place, there is no probe you can install to have the unit measure EGTs.

The Edge products, like # EP85100, can be fitted with a probe, # EP98601, to read EGTs. There is also a touch screen version of this programmer, # EP85200, that can also use the same EGT sensor.

The sensor installs in the manifold. I have included links to the instructions for the VIVID and Edge Evolution for you.
