EGT fitted but not working

[Dave]

I didn't use to worry until about 1,100 for more than 5 seconds or so, but was a fairly large turbo so would wear the heat better.

Regularly seeing 1000+ with a GT2260V, I did a long pull shuffing smoke for 30+ seconds and slightly warped/melted the tips slight, probably saw 1200 degrees here, not recommended - strong turbo probably very close to shitting self and pants.
