Not getting enough air if it is running hot on EGTs.

Turbo has soot on the top of it maybe a boost leak??
And is 1300 to 1500 hot enough to melt it down..I had a guy tell me he hits 2000 pretty often..

It won't be a boost leak if it has soot, that would be the exhaust side.

I don't go over 1300 in my pickup. There are a lot of people who hit 1600 and have had no problems.

Here is a link to a thread which shows you how to build a boost tester. Build one and test for leaks if that checks out you may need a larger turbo.
