Gotta Ask - Am I on borrowed time with my headgasket or other problems with my mods?

My turbo hits 35-37psi on a full romp.

My EGT's don't climb past 1,200 (I never let them).

Clutch is new and holds fine.

No blowby.

Am I in the danger zone yet?

Long as you don't go any higher with your boost and keep the timing under 18 you're fine.

60,000 miles in a slightly higher boost range here without a single problem and I occasionally bury my EGT gauge. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
