Just Installed #10 Plate. What A Waste...
What a waste....of perfectly good tires and fuel. I was very impressed with how how much power I gained. What concerned my was how high my boost and EGT's got. Prior to the install, i maxed out at around 18-20 PSI boost and 1100-1200 degrees pre-turbo. Now I am reaching 26-28 PSI Boost and peg 1400-1500 Degrees.
How much of each is too much.
I set the plate 1/16 back from full forward and slid the AFC full forward. Is this a reaonable set up.
I have a NV4500 with a GV splitter. 1st and 2nd are still unimpressive with little to no smoke. 3rd-4th-5th smoke moderately and pull very hard.
3K GSK are to be installed tomorrow.

hang on a sec is this on a 215 truck? if not them numbers seem kinda off, if you got the stock wastegate setup without a boost elbow you might be on, do you have an intake and exhaust if so them egts seem kinda high unless its a 215 pump. i have to work to hit 1200-1300, your egts are pretty warm, if you dont have an intake and exhaust get that and also get a adjustable boost elbow that will increace your boost a little and reduce your egts due to more air, with my wastegate unhooked i could hit 40 pounds like nothin but thats way way too much, thats too much on the turbo and on the headgasket so i put a boost elbow on to control it

Yeah I was gonna say, I get up to 1200* empty up hill wide open and I got 370's in my truck and an 8 plate in about the same spot you have. The boost numbers sound a little low, check your turbo for the vacuum line going to it and yank it off of there, and stick a bolt in the end. That will help until you pick up a boost elbow. Its doing no good
I can hardly even peg mine with a trailer out back.

i did get a boost elbow with the fuel plate. I haven't adjusted the allen head at the back at all though. Should I???
I just a few minutes ago finished installing a MBRP 4" exhaust. I haven't test driven it yet to see if it made a difference in EGT's, at the moment I'm just to filthy to get in the truck.
I have the Low output pump, i think its a 180HP, because Its a California edition with all the smog junk on it. I think the restrictive cat added to the EGT's
What would a normal boost be at with this set up. I thought 26-28 psi was high
