Reducing EGT's
Diesels:
increase fuel, increase EGT
increase air, decrease EGT
So, the best thing you can do is the intake (already covered) and exhaust. Does your exhaust have a down pipe? What are your temps at? Are you towing with it?

Reducing EGT's
Besides the TYMAR, I've gutted my EBPV, installed a Hypermax downpipe, which leads into a 4" mandrel bent system, with a huge Donaldson muffler in the middle. I'm running a Delta Diablo chip, with the hottest setting being a 100hp version of TDE0, and the highest I can get my EGT's when empty is 1100*. You've already got your TYMAR, go after the exhaust next.
