A bigger turbo will be the only effective way of lowering your EGT's enough 
It will cost some money, but choose the right one,and it will be sweet.

sounds like I better start saving my money.
I bought my comp drag from Industrial Injection. I guess I will be talking to them to see what they have that will work best for me.
Is a new turbo the only way to lower EGT's or is there a cheaper fix in the mean time?
What does HTT stand for?? I want to look them up

How mush boost you seeing? I don't see mentioned in your sig if you turnbuckled your wastegate or not. If you're using the stock turbo (HY9) and are not turnbuckled, you're blowing off alot of extra boost you could be using to cool EGT's down some. Just a thought.

I dont know what turnbuckled means can you explain what it is?
I do have a spring on the waste gate. It was on when I bought the truck, could this be what your talking bout
I was seeing 36psi or so, it's hard to look at the guage when in 5x5 cause i'm haulin so much a$$ that I'm watching the egt and the road instead

You can also look at one of the HTT upgrades...you can make your current turbo a 35.. with a hx40 compressor wheel, and housing.. for about 200.... Good Luck,
