As long as you stay below 1250 degrees you are fine.

Montana 2x2 is right. Also check your air filter or maybe upgrade to a BHAF. The more free air you can run through the engine the cooler it will be. Another good mod is four inch exhaust. A internal combustion engine is a big air pump. Free flowing exhaust and unrestrictive intake helps alot to keep the egt's down. But I still like bigger turbos
