You should be rolling coal. Unless you pesonally know the previous owner i wouldnt take his word for it. Anyways it seems people are getting off topic. If all things are correct you should be blowing a decent amount of smoke enough to make the hippies follow you even. EGTs i wouldnt go over 1200 and even then I wouldnt stay there for short period of time even. And rolling coal is great!! Some day soon hopefully I will blowing smoke.

Where is the pyro mounted?
Is it in the exhaust manifold or the elbow after the turbo?

There is a big difference in readings.

To each his own. But, smoke shows are causing new regulations that are hurting us. Think about what impact you cause.

Plastic bag over your air filter, or you could grind ever other fin off your turbo to reduce boost.

Could the transmision have anything to do with the smoke cause the I bought it from said it still smokes when u pull a load which I haven't done yet. He also said it smoked a lot before the trans he told me it takes load off the engine which takes away smoke. Could this be possible?
