EGT's way to high

[06F250powerstroke]

i have an SCT custom tuned by eric it works great the only thing is that im hitting 1600 at WOT and i no that normal for a second then it should back down to 1200-1300 well mine isnt it is staying at 1500-1600 from a dead stop to 100MPH holding it at WOT for 1/2 mile or so and it wont come down>

could this be a problem with my intercooler or turbo maybe????

mine has a 03 turbo which I beleive lowers the egts a little bit. Anwa I hot 14-1500 on race with 38's but it always goes down to 1250. You are not letting up are; you are staying at constant full throttle. Ted at innovative says you can run 1500 degrees during the entire 1/4 which is like 80-100 mile per hour and not worry about it. I wouldn't let it get much higher than 1500 degrees though. ITs okay for short burst but not long period of times.

Do you have an aftermarket exhast. Do you have a muffler and cat still. Getting rid of those will help lower your egts some as well

Also, what kind of guage are you seeing this with? Maybe a malfunction in the gauge? Needle bent or something?

You are seeing 1600 from a dead stop??

[06F250powerstroke]

auto meter gauges probe is on drivers side manifold

the egt's from 0-100mph at WOT are on a steady climb the never back down to 1250 like they should

what kind of boost numbers do you see? Do you have a clogged filter? Maybe look at your gauge and see if the needle or face is bent on it.

i can gett 35lbs on extreame race but a WOT around 22 or so the guages are new needles are good pretty sure there not bent

you get 35 PSI on extreme race, but you only get 22 on a WOT run?

[06F250powerstroke]

yes i can make my guage hit 35 lbs of boost but when i put it to WOT it makes around 22 or so

sounds like you are starving for air at WOT. It should stay in the 30PSI range at WOT
