I don't think that's it. It's more powerful than before but it's not immense. I know at least that it's got a LOT more in it than what I'm getting now, because when I had the problem with those little hoses on the IP popping off it got a ridiculous amount more power.
The best sign that I have of the EGT temps is when I occasionally hop out and put my hand next to the exhaust pipe where it is visible near the front tire. I think I've read on here of people seeing it glow... mine never seems all that hot even when coolant temps are high.

I had my dad personally ship something to this country like 3 months ago and it just arrived... unless I can find a dealer I think I'm out of luck for at least 10 days of driving until I get to Bolivia.
