I notice a great difference with my intercooler, if I floored it in the past with no intercooler I coulr run the EGT's to 1200 in a hurry, now with the intercooler the egt's jump to 900-then stop moving at 1000 while the vehicle it still accelerating. Eventually I have to back off but not until I am happy with the speeds.
I don't care about fuel economy - it is a cruiser.
The way you drive affects your engine life - as well does engine and vehicle maintenance.
The amount of heat your engine produces probably won't kill your turbo - your engine will fail because of heat before your turbo will - unless it is a n old turbo or not properly suited to your vehicle.
I think most metals start melting at about 1250 -1300, running your engine egt's to that point is not going to prolong engine life. Drive conservatively and enjoy the drive.
