For what? A PSD... with a pre turbo pyro, 1250 is the standard red line... I run all day at 1250 and never an issue.

Short times above 1250 will not hurt anything. 10-20 seconds is fine.

Sometimes it alerts me that they are too high, and i have the programmer set on stock. What about before i even put the programmer on? Was it a problem ya think? hmmm......I dont know alot about "egt" so i guess you think the question is kinda strange.

I would bet you have a flaky unit. You should never see more then 1100 on stock. Might talk to Edge.

I know my '06 has seen above 2000. Bigger injectors will do that. Way not reccomended though.

When I had the Edge and stock injectors, I never saw over 1150 when in stock setting. However, when on level 5 or 6, I'd see 1550-1600 at the track.
