pre or post turbo probe? if post it getting on the high side and hopefully its just a spike then back down several degrees. pre your still ok but its warm. 1500-1600 is HOT pre side, you can go higher if it gets cooled down really really quick.

The egt sensor is taped into the passenger side exhaust manifold. I'm also running my chip on level 2.

1200 sustained is fine, anything over 1300 for more than a few minutes is not so good, i have seen an lb7 hit 1600 for about 15-20 seconds and it is still running like a champ
