Pre-Turbo was VERY simple and took all of 30 min to drill, tap, mod, and wire up. I've never done post turbo install, so I can't comment about that.

1250* F is the maximum SUSTAINED EGT you want - you can run all day at or below that temperature. Short spurts (track/truck pulls) you can reach as high as 1300-1400 with no ill effects - then again you need to think about how your motor costs 10k to replace!
off topic but, did u put it in w/ the motor out or still in the truck? if in the truck, how?!?!?! i've heard about leaving the truck running. how long of drill bit do u use, etc. i have one post turbo and am going to put one in pre turbo this spring. just wanna know how, easliest and BEST way to do it.
