EGT Question

What EGT should I be staying under??
When my EGTs get up to about 1100 and I get on the throttle a bit more the check engine light sometimes comes on. When this happens boost is usually around 15 lbs.

My truck is an 02 7.3 6-speed with DP Tunes (usually 60 Tow or 80 econo), 6637 filter, Magnaflow exhaust, ATS ported turbo housing.

The light is probably coming on because you hit more then the stock 16lbs of boost. As far as EGT's, I never let mine go above 1200.

Have your codes read. Your truck will start to defuel at 22# boost. Your should be making more than 15# boost with the DP. Our turbo don't like more than 25# boost. I can hit 30# boost if I stay on it.
