EGTs and boost pressure

I have had my gauges in for about a month now, and I recently had the chance to wind out the truck going uphill. I went up a good 5-8% grade (no sign posted, just a guess on the grade). About 1/3 of the way up I dropped the pedal down. I hit 70 MPH before I let off. I kept an eye on the guages while going. My boost hit 20 PSI and the EGTs peaked at ~1100°. I was unloaded going up this hill, and the only related modification is the Scotty Air 2 that I have installed. The ambient air temp was ~85°.

My question is, do my boost and EGT reading seem normal?

Hey JR if you look around here and search for thread called J hook or turnbukle you will be able to gain a litte more boost out of your turbo too cool things off. Last night comin home I for the fist time hit 75mph goin up about the same hill and my boost was 30psi and my egts were 900deg and my fuel psi was around 9-10psi
