my buddy with the 06 took the edge off and if he gets on it, it rolls a bit of black smoke still. He is totally stock now and never had anything stacked. I think (may be wrong) but the edge left something on the PCM. I took the edge off and installed the smarty and dropped 200 degrees and now when i get on it (sw3) i can reach 1300 but have to work at getting it there.
same here. if i go casual on pedal its FLAWLESS. even if i gradually push pedal up to full throttle itll get up there but stick around 1200-1300 ish. If i mash on it ill instantaneoulsy heer a beep on the alarm for 1350
one other thing i forgot to mention is that my boost never gets over 23-25 psi ever. (unloaded)
Shouldnt it be in the 30's? Could this be why egts are high?
Cruising on highway at 65 mph my boost reads 4 psi

I believe that's what I mentioned last time you inquired about this. You should be in the upper 30's, if not the lower 40's. Have you checked your turbo? My guess is that your turbo may be fixing to take a dump on you.
i have warranty for the turbo. i normally check turbos at work because im a heavy equip mechanic but they normally push 28-32 psi boost.
What do u look for on these trubos. last time my filter elbow was off i looked at the impeller and it looked good. bearing felt good. it spun good.

I think that is pretty normal for EGTs and stock turbo. I would see 1550* on WOT pretty easy when I ran the juice/attitude and Quad XZillaraider Race. 1500* EGTs are not going to hurt anything empty for short bursts.
I have no idea, but there's got to be something wrong. I could hit in the mid to upper 30's without even trying. If I tried, it would go on into the 40's. This is unloaded as well.
Are you getting plenty of cool air? I/E Good air intake / larger intercooler / Banks High Ram? It appears that you are ok at lower rpm with egt's and are not ok at higher rpm's. You are getting plenty of fuel but not enough cool air?
Oh. I see that you have the aero muffler. It works like an engine brake and blocks flo. I put one on my wifes car thinking that it would get better milage like they claimed. Ya right. It lowered the milage by 1/2 mile avg over 5 fuel tanks. Simple physics. The fastest way between two points is a straight line. I would loose that thing.
