Level 3 is 160hp at the crank, i may have mis represented a little cruising at75-80mph around 800* I never do WO 0 - 80 or 90mph, I don't go wide open through 4th 5th 6ht because my tranny needs to live for a while. Still I have done hard launches like I said above not all the way through all the gears but my gage has never read more than 800* that I have seen. Sorry for the confusion and i did not mean to mislead.

Default Egts

How do you keep your EGT'S so low. With Triple Dog on performance I've seen as much as 1250. Performance is supposed to be around 85 hp at the wheels.

Get you the MBRP cool Dual turbo back, I had those on my 05 and they were very nice. Not too loud just a stock like sound.

He does most of it with his right foot, but 1250* is nothing to worry about. I see that on a little hill while towing.

I realize 1250 is nothing to worry about but I've seen temps spike as high as 1500 on the extreme setting. I just thought that Redneckbuckeye was doing something different than me to keep his egts so low. As for exhaust I already have an Mbrp downpipe back (cat delete), so I can't do much more there. I am going to get a ppe boost controller soon though and that should help with the egts a little bit.

All I have done is the exhaust and egr blocker plate - finger stick, it may be in the tuning. I only see boost #s in the low twenties so its not adding a lot of boost.

1500* is fine on short burst in the 1/4 guys are burying 1600* gauges with 100s of passes down the track getting a egr blocker plate will help some too.
