i don't think its too much of "blowing up" your engine due to high EGTs, its just the problem of melting stuff
i think that number matters on how far away you pyro is mounted from your exhaust manifold, so id check on that

and i run 12 psi ive seen as high as 15 soo i mean it should blow it out pretty quick right? i figure like 1/2 to 1 flat more i just really want more fuel at less pedel soo it shifts sooner with more power i dont like when it gets to 2800 and over and it doenst seem to move till it get up there i think it shifts tooo late i think less rpms at and a little more fuel would get better milage cuz it aint dumping the same amount of fuel tryin to spin the motor at 3000 rpms there some logic to that if you think about it ?? lol i dont know im a crazy 21 year old lol

Sounds to me like you need to get your Fuel Injector Lever Postion sensor adjusted for the shifting problem. With key on engine off, with a small probe run in along side the middle wire on the connector should read 1.1 volts- steady increase as you open the fuel lever, no dead spots, until you reach wide open throttle. It should read between 3.8 and no more than 4.3 volts at that point.

At that location you should be OK to run 1150 or so.
When the thermocouple is after the turbo is when the big temp change has to be taken into consideration.
A pyrometer reading 900 degrees after the turbo would be 1200 degrees at the exhaust manifold on average.
Good luck with your tranny, sounds like you are going to need it.

how much have you turned up the pump total? i know a guy who will rebuild your transmission and do all the good upgrades and put in a billet converter he'll also put all the electronic settings where they need to be for around $1,500. and that includes him pulling it out and reinstalling!! i'm having my 94 crew cab 7.3 turbo idi e4od beefed up for that price. my trans is fine but i do a lot of heavy hauling so it's just peace of mind for me. have you upgraded the stock transmission cooler?
