Westach Gauge Results Question?

Got my combo gauge installed tonight, not sure it's functioning properly. I lost the instruction sheet showing which lead goes to which numbered terminal but I think I have it in right. Boost side is working fine so I know I have the 12V connection correct. Kinda concerned about the EGT side. I was only showing about 400-500F in short bursts w/my Quad box on 30hp. It never got above 500F like I thought it would. After my test, it also almost immediately cooled down to read about 200F w/out hardly any cooldown time. Could the leads for the thermocouple be reversed and giving me bogus readings? Not that keen on the innerworkings of the gauge/thermocouple so w/out the instruction sheet, it's very possible I have them backwards if that makes a difference. Any help greatly appreciated or an email scan of the instruction sheet would be just as good.
