He's not saying that EGT and CHT are equal, he's saying that across the cylinders CHT won't vary much, and neither will EGT.
Correct. Thank you.

What I am saying is obvious for anyone who has flown a piston engine aircraft with individual CHT/EGT. You can see the power robbing temperature differences of introducing fuel anywhere in the intake system.

Only by metering fuel with a direct injection system will the cylinders have equal EGT's and CHT's across the engine.

I did not know the DA-42 diesels were direct injection. It figures, diesel is the easiest type of engine to direct inject.
