Question Does this seem right?

Just installed my pyro and boost guages yesterday and went for a bit of a drive today. Going down the highway at 1900rpm and 60 mph my boost shows 7 lbs and the egt is between 675 and 725. Does that seem a little high for egts? The temp outside is 89 degrees and I still have my grill inserts in.

Sounds about perfect to me. You'll probably see a little reduction in the winter, maybe down to 600 or so.
My boost sticks around 5 or so at that speed, a tiny hill and she'll pep up to 10 or so.

Concurred. Same for me and my 97 12v. Next time you're out and about, sit it on the rug and hold it there, then look at the gauges... then you can start getting nervous ;-)
