Temps will vary on the location of the EGT probe.
Temps measured before the turbo will vary greatly than the ones that are measured after the turbo.
but it should be somewhere in the 1400-1500 range. if it starts to spike up, you have problems.
There was an article in SCC (Subaru project I think) and they didnt like their 1550F temps, so with the help of some tunning they got it down to 1425F

PS. I found the autometer's service to be pretty good. When I bought a pod form eBay and told them if was gotten from a "friend" but he didnt give me the brackets to hold the pod in place, they said OK and its going to be in mail tommorow. didn't charge me nothing, was very nice.
I say give it a try, and tell them that u got it form a "friend" and see what happens.
