    Howdy! EGT/Boost Questions

    Hey guys new to the forum and fairly new to patrols.
    a couple of months ago I bought myself a 03 Wagon TD42TI with 225,000 clicks. It was bone stock engine wise so I have recently installed my new hpd top mount intercooler to replace the standard one,
    in the process i deleted the egr and cleaned out the intake manifold and installed boost/egr guages. It already had a 3” exhaust.
    First question:
    Peak boost is about 13psi with no boost controller or anything. Is that normal for a standard td42ti with my set up?
    Second question:
    EGTs creep up to 450-500 when on the highway going uphill/headwind etc. what can i do to help this?
    Does she just need a good tune? Whats the best way to make a bit more reliable power while keeping things cool and safe?
    Any input is appreciated, Cheers ����
