So far I've only seen one meltdown and I couldn't get a straight answer on how hot it got run. It had stage 1s in it and he said he never got it over 1300* for more than 8-10, seconds.. I chalked it up to he was either lying or his glowshift gauge lied to him. The injector nozzle wasnt cracked and there was a hole in the piston is all I know. He traded the truck in immediately. Even drove it to the dealership that way. Lol.

If you have stage 1's and you're not seeing anything above 15 PSI boost, you've got some boost leaks somewhere. You should be pushing 20 PSI easy. For the jitters you either need to move the boost line to the spider pipe (I'm guessing you just tee'd it into the MAP line) or put a "snubber" in the line to regulate the pulsations down. Either way will work, but mine stopped fluttering when I drilled, tapped and installed the line into the outlet T of the turbo. The MAP line only reads the pressure on one bank so the intake pulses aren't smoothed out as much.
And yes, no more than 1200* EGT for very long or you're flirting with disaster.

Somebody said I had stage 2's? Don't really know the difference? I did tap into the map line. So I should tap it into the outlet side of the turbo? Can you possibly shoot me a pic?

Could it be the setting I have my TS chip on? I just keep it on what they called economy/tow. But it has:
- All out
- Street
- Economy Tow
- Idle up
- Stealth
- Heavy tow
