NO BOOST HIGH EGT's!!!!

I've been on here a time or two before with this issue trying again for some new ideas maybe. I don't have any boost leaks or exhaust leaks. MAP sensor is good wastegate works properly and I wired my EBPV open. Still cannot build over 10psi of boost and my EGT's area little high when I get on it. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Compressor wheel is good. Yes no leaks even the orange boots. When I get on the interstate on the on ramp, empty, I can hit 1200 1250 with no problem and its still climbing but I don't let it go any higher.

I read that in your original post but forgot.... Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? Have you done the hutch mod?

Have you tried unplugging the edge and looked then? Edge tunes have been known to produce very high egt's.

Same thing in stock mode with it plugged in or unplugged.

Something got goofed up when you did that. Either incorrect reconstruction of the turbo, incorrect installation of the turbo on the engine, or some other thing which would be a crazy coincidence.

That's what I was thinkin but I went back through the turbo again with help and everything seemed to be fine. Only other thing I could think of was up pipes so I've pulled manifolds and put gaskets and tightened everything also. I'm just lost.
