not if its expelling unburt fuel (common in mismetered VTA turbo apps) into the manifold combusting right at the probe

I agree. Running VTA with a MAF creates problems and in the absense of a bad gauge, fuel is burning after the injectors take a deep breath.

Pardon me as I'm running a 102.3 degree fever right now, looking at the screen with the one eye thats not matted shut... lots of backfiring I suspect from my EGT reading

Seems the simple test would be to re-circulate it and see if you still have the issue. Then go from there.

Awe ..... go back to bed! LOL.

Fuel burning in the manifold or exhaust is a backfire.

Hope you feel better soon!
