PLEASE HELP! HIGH EGT'S!

Have you checked for boost or exhaust leaks yet?

Nothing is loose or obvious as far as either go. Since I have no cooler, the only boost leaks would be from the y pipe into the motor, right? As far as exhaust leaks, is there way to check besides looking and listening?

Boost leaks can include the turbo outlet o-ring, intake boots, intake manifolds or any combination of the three.

Looking for the exhaust leak is the easiest way to tell, you will see the soot around the problem area.

What are your boost #'s when EGT's are high?

Good Luck

About 10-12psi @ 2000-2250rpm.

Hmmm.......seems low to me.

Do you got leaking up pipes?

Don't see any leaks on the exhaust side. Everything is tight on the boost side. Talked to a "turbo" guy, he said the boost #'s that I am seeing are low and the turbo wheels could be worn, which could be the higher than wanted egts. Does this sound right?
