my boost has peaked at 29psi going up monument pass in colorado and on the same pass same day my egts peaked at 900 and my truck was starting to get hot at the top of the pass i was going 75 with a load of about 3000lbs tho usually if im flooring it down the hyway with or without a load i do about 10psi and my egts are always at 550, i dont have a oil presure gauge that reads psi i just got the stock dodge one but it always stays in the middle unless im idleing then it goes to the low normal line, your boost seems pretty normal but your egts concern me a little bit ive never even got close to 1200 ru intercooled

Levi,
Are you getting FULL throttle ? I mean the throttle is hitting the IP when it's floored.
If not - back out the high idle screw until the throttle lever can hit the IP.
I was going over 30 w/stock sticks and turbo once I corrected this. And how far is your IP turned up? I also had my IP at 1/4 turn down from runaway.

Fuel = Boost = HP = Higher EGT's
