Those EGT's look normal to me! I don't think you're beginning to cook your turbo till the 1400 range as stock can hit 1400. Most believe 1350(ish) is the hottest you want to run for any length of time, but 1000 is totally normal with 11-1300 on the hills.

-edit- you'd probably drop 100-200 degrees if your kitty somehow got lost on your next trip to the great outdoors.
