Feedback needed for EGTs on a CRD

[Hodge]

I could scour for hours through the threads here but figured might be easier if people could just post up their EGT's in different scenarios. I'm getting mixed feedback as to what's safe what's not, what's normal and whats not.
I have no NADS fitted, and running a 2&3/4 exhaust.
General around town, I get 200-400C. 450, if I hammer it. Today it wasn't even that hot here in Melbourne, was just 26 and humid, and on a flat road with air con on, it jumped to 500C after taking off from the lights and once reached 4th gear. Got me a tad concerned.

I cannot comment on boost, as mine is absolutely all over the place. Very sporadic. At 100km/h EGT's are 400-450, and not even towing, boost as i said is everywhere, but it lingers between 8-12PSI from what I can gather.

What are you getting ???

Well today was about 30 degrees outside my water temp was about 92 degrees and egt was between 300 and 400 hundred when cruising at about 100km/h. When I gunned it from the lights it went up to about 500 and then when it hit top gear came back down to 350 to 400. I do have my egr blocked( did it today) but as I mentioned in another thread today it really hasn't made any difference to my temps.. My boost is also all over the place..
I have a 2011 crd (auto)

I don't really care anymore ..I get temps upto 630 when towing, and I just hammer it...Never worried the CRD
Fark mate these motors arw designed to do it!!

Forget about the hype!

well before nads and exhaust I could get 700 towing up hill then I fitted bd 2.75 egts went down a bit then I blocked the egr now 100 to 110 kph on the flat boost is 10 to 11 psi egt's 300 to 325 will rise to 400 odd going up hills and 500 pumping it then I added a steinbauer and that has just made the car more crisp on the acceleration. each and every mod has individually increased the power and dropped the egt's a bit
