The Pyro is mounted in the manifold pre-turbo.

Post turbo EGT's (with an actual EGT gauge and probe, and not the engine estimate) would be in the 1050F - 1100F range. 1150F would be starting to push things.

Pre-turbo, this would be 1100F - 1250F range.

Changing the power/torque settings should have nothing whatsoever to do with "adding fueling". Your statement makes whoever was tweaking on the programming sound very sus. - You should copy the program from the ecm and e-mail it to me to ensure it was done 100% correctly, and/or at the very least, that it does not need some kind of serious updates applied to it.

- Also, what kind of boost levels was it getting up to, and what was the oil temps doing?. - Those are also just as important as the EGT's, as internal engine friction and other important factors can be determined by those numbers as well.
