That's pretty normal, when blasting mine I could easily see 850c on a warm day, keep going and you could see 900+...

I expect my little turbo will be a lump of molten aluminium with a lot of 900 degree runs!

Thread revival alert!!!
Had a "spirited" drive to work this morning and thought I would post the results.
EGT
Temp before toe down (xud warm up) - ~ 200*C
Blast through second/third - quicly ran up to ~ 650*C
Sustained run in 5th foot hard down - ~ peaked at 850*C
Motorway cruise speed - returned to ~ 250*C
Oil pressure
Sits around 60psi while idling cold
Drops to 35psi idling warm
Peaks around 70psi when under heavy load
Boost
Full load pre charger 18Psi
Full load post charger 30psi+
Idle 7psi pre charger ----> WIN!!!!!
Water temp
Idle once warm ~ 75*
Full load - Gets to 90* rather quick!!!
Cruising - Returns to ~80*
I will update this again once I get my oil temp gauge working

For anyone else reading this - absolutely zero point in having a sensor post turbo. It doesn't respond fast enough to the temperature changes and is a good few hundred degrees below what the turbocharger is seeing - let alone the exhaust valves and cylinder head.
Might as well lick your finger and hold it in the breeze outside for the good one post turbo will do.
