EGT temp's on VW engines

Anyone know what the ideal EGTs are on the VW engines?
My VW runs at 620c in the cruise, I’m thinking this may be too low for a 4 stroke.

Aerovee has max of 760 deg C so 620 sounds like a nice easy cruise. Could try leaning it a tweak to around 650 - 680 or so.

750degr celsius, but best is to run it a few degrees rich of peak.

I don't have mix control so have to set things on the ground. 750c sounds a tad on the high side but I suppose those Turbo VW's run a little hotter.
PS. How is the KR1 coming along, when you going to post us some pic's?

Nope, not yet. I’m busy replacing the fuel lines and sorting out a “BIG” oil leak.
Also, I need to sort out the paperwork as last ATF was in 2002….CAA want to know why not fly for so long?
I’m also busy with the Bush Baby and want to get this flying first.
