i have an airaid intake, stacked with banks 6 gun and superchip and straight exhaust. i'm gettin high EGTs fast. the banks programer cuts out at 1400, but i can't hold WOT even upto 65mph. what do i need, bigger turbo? water methanol injection? bigger intercooler? anything else? i;m running 30 pounds of boost, am i over doin the stock turbo?

Maybe that stack is a bad combo???? I can run my PPE on level 4 till I just dont wanna go any faster and never will go over 1100

You might want to get rid of the two tuners you currently have, and go with either a PPe 2hot ET tuner or efi live.

Even if you don't upgrade your turbo your going to be better off running 1 tuner. You really don't know what your throwing at the motor with your current stack. When I was running a PPe with stock charger running the 300hp tune my truck never saw over 1500deg on Wot runs. However, I didn't have a lift and big tires like you did.
A bigger charger would definetly help you with the egt's.

might have to, but major power loss with only one. ditch both and go with efi live?

bd manifold or oversized intercooler would help the egts

I would not spend 2500 or more on a turbo just to lower egt's. I would take the banks and the superchip out and buy EFI live. With a good tune it will lower your egt's and not cost near as much.
