I didn't notice any problems with my EGTs, and I'm really not sure what you mean by "doesnt shoot off nemore like when i had my other wheel on.."
Mine is just as fast and fixed all the problems I had with the stock wheel. Make sure everything's tight -- you may have a boost leak or up-pipe leak (if you took the turbo off to install).

Replied to your other post, but you might also try pulling the red wastegate line to see if that does anything for you. I definitely notice a difference with it off, so mine stays off.
