got my gauges installed

finally got my gauges for christmas and installed them today...they look and work great.

my question now is
1. what should my tansmission temperature be under normal driving conditions unloaded...i was seeing about 150

2. what is normal for the egt when not doggin the truck...i was seeing between 600 and 800 when cruising and about 1000 when givin it a little more throttle on the highway

3. also how much boost should i be gettin with just a intake chip and exhaust? i seen numbers today all the way up to 23-25...just curious as to how these numbers are compared to the normal avg

also while installing the gauges i started to remove the foil ..but didnt because really didnt know what the advantages to this are?

The mod doesnt have any benefits other than makeing the turbo a little louder i dont think. I've read here from other guys they don't notice much of a difference. Just a cleaner look.
