Exhaust Temperature Gauge Users

As title, what does your exhaust temperate gauge sit at?

Just installed mine, its a cheap apexi copy exhaust probe in the 3rd runner on the manifold.

4efte engine and its sitting at 300 degrees at idle and upto 500 degrees on cruise.

Is this normal? For some reason I was expecting it to be at 900 degrees.

So what's everyone else getting?

Hmmm as I thought wasn't expecting too from a 20 quid gauge, looks the part and that's what I wanted. You running water temp too Si?

Mines running about 85 degrees which is what I was expecting?
