Will a Smarty JR. help?

Picked up a new TT that weighs in at 8500 empty and 11,500 GVWR 35' long. Towing it does fine, but pulling into a head wind the other day, it was hovering around 1000-1100 on the EGT gauge. I think for a long trip that might be a little too much. Would a Smarty JR coupled with my injectors be too much for my stock turbo or would the timing change that the JR adds actually lower EGT's even with my injectors?

Mines about stock other than the JR and I've never gotten a temp close to that.

1000-1100 EGT`s are not a problem at all, if they were at 1400 then I would be worried.

With your injectors a JR would help but you would run the econo tune to just add timing and take the boost fooler off. Your tranny might not like it though with the added power.
