Increasing max boost from 10 psi to 15 or so (manual boost controller) without increasing fueling will both increase power and reduce EGTs.

My EGT's are troublesome before I'm even at peak boost tho. You're right, however, I do need to bring up the boost to 15

Transient EGT highs wouldn't concern me much. High EGTs post turbine before boost comes on probably just mean the turbo isn't stealing heat yet. Sustained high EGTs that continue to climb is where you need to start worrying.
