Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I had 2 distinct "hot juices" Broken, and fixed. 
broken juice + ez + WOT + 100degree day + 20,000 miles of hot juiced miles = 1350EGT-ish if I was trying really hard and up hill. This dynoed what's in my sig.
I had the normal juice since 30,000 miles old for about 20,000 miles, then upped to the hot. While stock, after 10,000 miles. I drove the truck as hard as I could, for a stock truck.
Now, with the fixed juice, You can feel a heck of a lot more power, especially down low. And see 1400EGT isn't all that hard in 70degree temps. I can't do it now that it's 30 out. maybe 1200 if I'm lucky. I'm sure I'm near 500hp, and I know I can keep doors with low 13/sec cars... .
Turbo, looks as clean and new as the day she left the factory. the cold side fins look a little black, but that's to be expected. No end play, just a tiny big of a wiggle up and down and side to side (as expected).
By all accounts, this turbo should of bitten the dust long ago. I'm sure during the summer time, when the juice shows me 40 (and at times 41) psi, I'm really near 50psi. If not higher.
(winter time, I can manage 37psi... . ). Why is mine surviving and you guys breaking things?
I sure do not leave the EGT at 1400, I mean, once I'm at 105, you back outa the throttle and the EGT's fall back a bit. These guys breaking turbos when working the truck with a load, or just playing around?
I do warm things up good and well prior to apply any throttle. I do cool things down to 300EGT. I run amsoil. I didn't mod anything for 30,000 miles, but she wasn't babied at all in those first miles.
Did I get a lucky truck?
Was it proper break in?
How?
