800 degrees at idle is pretty hot IMO

I'm thinking everybody missed that part. there's has to be something wrong with the guage, though 1175 on a hard pull doesn't sound bad. When you say 800 at startup, what exactly do you mean? After sitting all night, or cruising down the highway?

After sitting all night and with a ambient temp of about 65 degrees.
On a hard acceleration the boost gauge reads arounf 7 to 8 psi then back down to around three max at 1800 to 2000 rpms on the freeway.

My EGT's on start up are only 230F, Normal driving mine is in the 500F, Pulling 14,000lbs @ 75mpg it is in the 850-950F, A hard pull with no load 1200F

You should be getting more boost under hard acceleration, but your cruising boost sounds good. My truck runs about 600 on the pyro when warmed up cruising 65 mph/1800 rpm at 3 lbs boost.

floored from a dead stop you should see about 10 psi stock more tuned

Really...only 10 PSI is what we should see stock, I thought someone said 35 PSI stock...

(sorry, I am a Diesel noob...if I am wrong please inform me)

no way you would see 35psi stock.... 20 psi maybe..... anything over 28psi and your doing more bad then good with a stock turbo....

I will try that out at lunch today. I really want to get by egt's lower but not sure how.
