EGTs and Boost
I have noticed when I tow with my truck and the EGTs get warm (~1200F), my boost is only around 25-30 lbs, even when I'm above 2200 RPM. If I give it more fuel and reach 35 pounds of boost, my EGTs are too warm (1400F). This doesn't bother me too much and I try to keep my EGTs 1200 or less. My adjustable boost elbow is screwed all the way in. I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing as I have.

you have got a ton of fuel for a stock turbo, that alone will make it hot. Have you checked for any boost leaks? with all that fuel you should be able to see 40+ pounds of boost.
