You can get a kit for it, but unless you are going with a bigger turbo, it won't make that much difference. Do you have the LB7 or LLY in your truck? If you have the LB7 you can get a PPE boost increase valve and your EGTs will go lower. Also, what exhaust do you have on your truck? A 4" exhaust will work wonders along with a cat delete if you have one. As far as EGTs, you will see those numbers with any programmer. The only way to not see that high is to get a bigger turbo, but you will still see numbers into 1400. I have seen 1500 on mine no problem. As long as you don't hold it for more than a couple of seconds, you will be ok. I have read on other forums that guys peg out 2000 degree pyros in the 1/4 mile. Do a little test, download your program and return it back to stock. I will bet you will see over 1300 in your current set-up.
