high egt low boost update #2
changed out my compressor wheel, cleaned intercooler tubes, (replaced one),rechecked boost tube. my egt's have come down some but not what i had expected. i understand that the WW will cause me to lose some boost, but i still never see more than #8-#10 going uphill empty running 60hp predator. is there anything else one could do to eliviate my higher than normal egt's and get a little more boost? my 6637 is ready to be changed but have opted to save for the severe duty. could my air filter be causing all this grief?

I had to replace my wastegate with the banks big head. When I pulled the old one off the rod was just limp and I could pull it pretty easily. You might want to check yours since I was suffering from low boost and high egt's as well. Intake wouldn't cause that kind of problem unless it was SEVERELY clogged. That's a big filter and it can take quite a bit of dirt.

I have had the same problems. I found that my small exh leak and that I had left the exh back pressure tube off the front of the manifold caused high egt. Transmission that might be going did also, I dont know why. 430,000 miles

unplug the ebpv, then bungee the wastegate shut wait wait wait, what temps are you running? Check the fuel pump, low fuel, lots of air {lean} makes temps high. My fuel pump was going bad and I got up to 1200 at 80 with no weight uphil. I just replaced it and all is gooder

_*(&*&%^%#% I lost what I typed. I just ran yesterday in Nevada on 93 1st redline and GPS read 120 mph and 1030 degrees 20 lbs boost. Now normally I run 75 to 80 without throttling in at 670-700s and stays at 10lbs. Throttle in gets the air in faster and spikes the egts.
