Does that machine have the new group head and plastic sleave?

[@JohnMichaelHauck]

The machine has the original group head it came with (which is a generation 3 group head including the plastic sleeve). It also has an upgrade called the "Bong Isolator".
Here is my playlist explaining the generations:

@JohnMichaelHauck cheers, yeah I have a milinium pro, it has a brass piston now but still has the plastic sleeve. I have a bong too and currently have my pstat set to max out around 1.3 bar ish. Maybe slightly higher. I'd really like to be able to view actual brew temp as you can here!
I'm especially interested in how turning up the pstat effects brew temp. I'd like to turn mine up considerably higher to get better steam preinfusion and larger shot volume but working out the brew temp can become very tricky.
