I don`t have a comp truck, but it is set up like one suspension/engine wise.
Have pyro mounted post turbo and it reaches 500-550 pretty fast and then I back off, but on a stage you can`t do that, so just wonder what`s your EGT like.
Run 15psi and twice the amount of fuel on it. Maybe more boost will help, but a wee bit worried about the headgasket.

EGT on diesel comp trucks
G'day per,
Mine normally runs around 500. I can't remember if your's is intercooled. If not this will bring down your temps. Also make sure that the fuel is set properly and a big one that is easy to do is make sure that your intake pipe (before the turbo ie. snorkle ) is large enough to flow the air that your engine needs. If it is too small it will add to your heat problems. A competitor went from a 3 inch pipe to a 5inch pipe and his EGT dropped by 100 degrees without doing anything else to the motor.

Thanks for info Steve
I`ve got a big FMIC and twin thermos behind the rad. maybe get a new PWR type in alloy.
Compressor intake is 3" so have the same size from the filter, large conical KN with a 6-3" ram pod.
IC piping is 2,5" before and 3" after IC.
Maybe the bottle neck is stock exhaust manifold, not enough space to make a new one, (non cross-flow).
Does it stay on 500 deg even when you floor it for a longer period?

Well the EGT went up to around 600 just driving on the highway in the last comp......that's why I had to pull out 
Some of the stages I was running for around two hours in low range and didn't see it above 500. I don't have my fuel pump modified yet though so I don't dump heaps of fuel into the motor. If you can get it on the dyno you can adjust the fuel timing. This may help.
