Default EGT & PSI

So i have 2 out of 3 of my gauges hooked up, with my few mods, I want to make sure i'm getting legit readings. My EGT has not gone over 800 but does correspond with acceleration. From watching my engine temp before these gauges i would have bet money i was running EGTs around at least 1100. As far as my boost, at WOT and 80 mph i finally got up to 20 psi, after reading all the posts on here about running too much boost or close to it, my average of +/- 10psi getting up to highway speed has me wondering. Cruising at 60mph/1600rpms i'm showing 2-3psi.

I have yet to tow with gauges installed, maybe that will sell me on their accuracy. I just want to know if my numbers are correct based on the limited amount of mods that i have.

sounds good to me, your egt's will get higher if you add more fuel on the stock turbo, but the boost sounds right for stock setup. Try adjusting the j-hook.
