    I have a couple of questions about my NXS C15. First what is the normal oil pressure supposed to be at operating temp, mine runs around 65psi at 1500 rpm's. Second question, what is the highest EGT that is considered ok for sustained running? After I made a few changes to my engine it now runs around 800-900 loaded if I keep the rpm's around 1400-1500. If I run engine under 1400 while cruising or while picking up speed or climbing a hill the EGT will go to around a grand. Are these temps fine or do I need to be under 1000? Boost pressure is where it needs to be and there are no leaks.

    that's pretty normal. don't know what you changed? a good (code word) electronic manipulation would help greatly.
