ok guys i have a #10 plate and everything was slid forward.
my egts were hott and it smokes like a fein.
so i decided to slide everything back. after i was done i left school and my egts were still high just running through the gears and so was the smoke. that should have made a difference? im gunna try putting on the stock plate and see what happens?

 

Smiding it back should make a pretty big difference. Were you all the way forward and you moved it all the way in the opposite direction?

 

might wanna check for boost leaks... I had almost the same thing on my truck, I went form no plate, to a 5 and a 8 and my EGTs stayed identical. Sure enough, got new boots on and problem solved...

 

gov arm could be stuck under the plate too

 

Like Whit said, check the gov arm to be sure it's engaging the plate near the bottom, but not under. You may also want to dial back your star wheel if you adjusted it before. This made a big difference on smoke and temps for me when I switched from an 11 to a custom plate.

 

for having twins, and water meth, ur egts shouldnt be all that high with just ddps stage 2 injectors and a 5 plate. like some one else said, id check for boost leaks. how high is high egts?

 

i dont have watermeth hooked up now, and my drive pressure is high with the stock housing on the hybrid. i just sold my hybrid tonight. waiting to decide on a new top turbo. plus im getting a new 3 peice manifold.
