Default High EGT's with a edge

I just got my Edge installed in my truck and i can barely get on it set to leave 3. I have my EGT's set at 1200 and it goes off really fast. I got a EDGE CTS juice with attitude and a 4" turbo back stock air box with a k&N drop in. Someone told me get a cold air intake and a boost elbow and it will help lower the EGT's. The guy who installed it said he wouldn't set the EGT leave any higher than 1250. I heard 1350 is the most you want to go, but this guy said 1250 is the most he would go. He set mine at 1200 and said i can bump it up if needed.

Lucas, whats your pyro probe location? If you install the sensor after the turbo you read exhaust temps. If installed before the turbo you read the turbine inlet temperature. Placing the probe at the turbine inlet results in higher temperature readings that react faster with changing engine conditions. Just my .02 cents. There more people out there that definitely know about this topic than I. However, he is right you dont want to go higher than 1300 in my opinion and yet you dont want run at those temps for any extended period of time.

Also how do you like the EDGE CTS Juice package? I was looking into getting that setup myself?

1300* isnt too bad at all. If you have a lot higher than that for extended periods of time then I would start to worry. But if you spike 1400* once in a while then you will be okay
