add fuel!

no need to hit those kind of EGT's on a turbo for it to run sharp.

1225 to 1250 should be your MAX temps.

You will be getting pistons and or cylinders real soon if not.

I agree with racin station. You need to give that thing some more fuel on boost or you are gona have a big problem. If a top end craps out usually it will take the turbo out as well. Thats another 5 hundo on top of the motor. believe me I learned the hard way.

Almost every sled has a different sweet spot temp. 1350 may be yours. The EGT is just a guide.. Check your plugs and wash compared to that temp. It may be that you are actually rich and dumping fuel in the pipe. This will cause false readings to the rich side. The only way to truely tell is by checking your pistons.

We had a T700 that would run 1450 on the gauge all day long, and that is where is was happy.

plugs looks good i check them lots, pistons looked good when i changed pipe earlier this year. ill turn up final psi i guess and read it again

Are you running Attitude or boondocker box?

 

[burried]

boondocker box

 

[Spaarky]

brown chocolate compression good.

How much wash is there on top of the piston?

 

[burried]

3/4 of the top

sounds a little rich to me, but I would have to see the pistons.
