With any diesel, 550 degrees POST turbo is considered a good safe level. Some people will push this out to 600 degrees but the higher you go the more stress & possible damage can be caused.
The difference between POST & Pre turbo temps vary from vehicle to vehicle, but can be as much as 150 degrees higher than post turbo (on some vehicles it can be as high as 200 degrees). Fitting an EGT pre turbo is preferred, but due to the modern design of vehicles, most probes are fitted post turbo. I think 720 degrees was considered the safe level PRE Turbo (cant remember exactly as I've always fitted my probes POST turbo).
With the tuning of any diesel, the correct air/fuel ratio must be maintained to keep EGT's at a safe level & with modern common rail engines, the ECU makes this a simple thing to do. With a simple chip installation & no other engine mods etc, you shouldn't have any probs gaining some good power with little or no change to EGT's.
