OUCH!! because you mention EGTS are hot, I would guess (that is all it is) the turbo. (lack of air)

Do you have a boost gauge? That would tell you simply by watching boost levels and turbo response. If not, take off the intake tubing and inspect the turbo vanes and see if it is spinning freely, check for play and etc.

For those of you reading the thread and don't have gauges, this is one good reason to get them even if you are stock. There are many more good reasons too.

Checked the air filter lately? fuel filter? Sooooo many problems are just a dirty filter, air and/or fuel. Try the easy stuff first.
