WOT the pryo hit 1200 f !! is that right ??? it settled down fast but, wow.. i never new it would hit that hot stock ???and about 28 psi on the boost !! i have my thermocouple installed pre turbo FYI !! thanks for any help!!!

I did the same thing you did, with mods, and the max egts I could get was 950-975. I think the reason for the low #'s was the BHAF and 4'in exhaust????
