Well eri64, I do not have a programmer on my truck, I have a chip so my EGT's would be irrelevant in this case. BTW why didn't you post your EGT's? Doesn't this omission make your post just as much of a "waste of time" as my post. At least both of our posts were on subject. Both of us started off with a disclaimer by stating we were not being sarcastic. I for one was not, and I believe Quadzilla wasn't either.
cowboy's ford; You will need more info to make a good comparison. Such as what year truck you have due to several different engines offered, as well as some were not inter cooled, axle gear ratio, and other mods like exhaust, injectors, and intake will make a difference in EGT's, as will pyro probe location.

Cleatus12r, could you please explain your theory dealing with elevation? I'm at very high elevation and have wondered about this. Seems easy for my truck to reach 1150 degrees post turbo ('96 Tymar, downpipe, no cat, no chip) driving over mountian passes.

Mtncrawler;
1150 POST-turbo?! Isn’t that, unh 1450* or so exhaust temperature? That would be over recommended safe temps. And to address your question about elevation; the air is less dense at higher altitudes. At sea level (mostly, here around Seattle) it is hard for me to get above 1200* pulling up the passes. But when I was driving through Utah last month it was no problem at all to push her up to 1250* going over some of those 7000 & 8000 foot passes.

EGTs
I get the following temps with mine, Pre-Turbo, NO CHIP (some info may be more useful than no info)
Empty, constant highway speeds: ~600-700F
Pulling ~9000lb 5er, constant highway speed, Turbo at ~5psi: ~900F
Pulling, two lane road, floored, passing Grandma, Turbo at ~15 PSI, ~1100-1150F (yellow zone, don't keep it there very long)
I expect that getting a tuner chip will up all values incrementally including turbo boost and EGTs with each level of HP increase. This tells me that having a chip would be nice but that I'd better get on it intermittently to allow the system to keep in cool enough operating range or else plan on buying a new turbo and maybe other stuff once in a while.
I'm still thinking about chipping it, though, because folks are reporting better fuel mileage. At $2.xx a gallon a couple miles/gallon better looks REAL good.

I thought the stock turbo would only put out about 12lb boost?

The PCM, or ECU, will defuel once the boost exceeds 22psi. Because of that, I've installed a blow off valve to fool the MAP sensor into thinking I'm only hitting 16-18psi, though the engine is really making a lot more.
You're right. Atmospheric pressure is 14.7psi. Any measurable boost is in addition to that.
When you say your boost gauge is reading 4psi, are you at WOT under load? That's the best way to find out what your truck will do. Mine does 3.5psi boost at a 2000rpm cruise speed.
