EGT question

bit overpriced if you ask me.
as for all of the above you listed... all not necessary. increased timing and quality injectors matched with a properly sized turbo or turbos for the application will keep egts in check without all that extra crap.
I have no problem with EGTs and do you see any of that???
factory exhaust manifold, factory intake horn, and factory grid heater still in place and I am running 6x.013 injectors... If I crank my power up all the way I can see 1300-1400* on absolute maximum performance settings, but I don't daily drive with those settings. too smokey and too jumpy on the road.
with power turned down to a streetable level (around 460hp) I can't get it over 1200* and on economy mode I can't get it over 1100*
and these are temps pulling all the way out to redline in 6th gear WOT.
water meth is a bandaid and not a real solution to the problem. properly matched turbo(s) and injectors for your use and desired power from the truck is the real fix.

Thanks guys, I always heard over a thousand was the danger zone so I was getting pretty scared because just going down the road I run mid to high 700's, if going uphill it would get close to 900 but if I got on it and was trying to get up to highway speed quick it would get to around 1100 and If I romped on it, it would hit 1200+, does all this sound normal for my 2001? I wish I could afford a new turbo set up but I cant, it already has a 5in. turbo back, a 150 fass fuel, and a quadzilla, so next paycheck is a aftermarket intake, any suggestions on the best for performance and also gives a nice turbo whine?

you don't need an aftermarket intake... if you insist, get a BHAF. the shiny metal tubes do NOTHING for performance...the inside of that rubber intake boot you have is already smooth. the inside is not like the outside. the outside is just ribbed for strength, the inside is smooth as a baby's butt.
if you want more sound from the turbo, delete the muffler, and remove the silencer ring.
