Towing #'S

Is the exhaust temp & boost what you watch for when towing? and what temp and boost does everyone run when towing? and whats safe? My trailer is 15,000 lbs. and I haven't towed since i got my tuner.

I drive by the Exh temp; I watch all the gauges but drive by that, look in my gallery and see the size of the trailer that routinely goes over passes at 10,600 feet, 12% grades.
My trailer is just a tad over yours in weight.

I watch the exhaust gas temps and water temps. Towing a 13,500# boat on a 3 axle trailer in August in Florida, I run right at the yellow line on exhaust gas at 70 mph on level ground. (no tuner, 4" exhaust from turbo back.)

I don't have a gauge with warning colors. What temp is yellow?
