Be easy on it until you get the gauges, all that means is the PCM saw over 24psi boost nothing to really fix but the stock turbo gets real ineficient over 25psi. An Overboost Annihilator from ITP Diesel will eliminate that code, its common woth a programmer.

Adding more fuel increases EGT's, hence the need for gauges to monitor them and boost levels. You just need to keep that in mind on acceleration and pulling until you get the gauges so you dont melt a piston. EGT's can get over 1200 pretty quik with performance tunes.
