1250 EGT just driving down the road

This is what hapened I pulled out in front of some one first thing in the mournig (cold engine). Turbo started wining no boost turned around went home less than a mile. Pulled tubo off the turbine had some play in it and rubing the housing. Put a super B on it with 4" exhust. now ever time I drive it runs at 1000 deg plus EGT's. I also noticed the intake air temp is 130. I check all the iner cooler boot the look good. Any sugestions?

Chech your connections on your EGT probe/gauge. I would disconnect everything, scrub the contacts down with a small wire brush, throw a little dielectric grease on there, and see what you have. Make sure you check any grounds if you have a power source hooked up.

Is your intercooler plugged? Seeing as how the intercooler sits before the radiator it may be packed with mud also...

This is more than likely the case. I have had same problem and after cleaning the egt connections good, it read right again.
