Mine was the same way.. When i first got my gauges I went on vacation with the TT and with stock programming I could get to 1200 on a serious 5 or 6 mile hard pull at WOT, but it never went over 1200 either.And to think some people runs there trucks with chips and etc. with no gauges..!!

Just my $.02
Putting anything inline of the exhaust system is going to increase heat. Seems to me that (from their website) they are more concerned with post Aeroturbine exhaust. These diesels put out some serious exhaust velocity. Heat is stacking up right to your turbine housing, thus your higher EGT's.
Minds well shove a couple of tennis ***** in there while their at it.

With the exhaust velocity these powerstrokes have,the muffler and the aeroturbune might be too much back pressure together too.Although i dont know much about the aeroturbine.All i had at the time was a factory straight pipe system and my temps would go to 1200. Now with a 5 straight Pipe and a 60hp predator tune i can barely get to 1200 if i stand on it forever..Restriction does cause heat...

You might try moving the Aeroturbine to where the muffler is on the MBRP system now, and running just the Aeroturbine. That's where I saw the install pics of it on one of the websties that sells it. Here is the first place I've heard of it going close to the DP as possible.

This may be a dumb question so please don't be offended... are you sure the Aeroturbine is installed in the right direction?
I have the 3535l aeroturbine in front of a BTM on my otherwise stock exhaust. I've yet to see EGT's higher than 1150 and that was towing my 9000lb boat up a 4% grade.
Hard to imagine that your hitting 1200 with a 4" exhaust with an otherwise stock engine. Immagine what it was like with the stock exhaust!

I appreciate all the members sharing their experiences with us so we can make informed decisions. I think for what I do the aero turbine should suit my needs, I will post when I can get everything together. By the way, how long have you lived in Missoula? I have relatives there and try to get over there every once and a while.
