Lowering EGT's

I am wondering what the best things I can do to lower EGT's on my 24v. I am assuming turbo, but which one?? So many choices. I would also like to do injectors, once again for towing which would give the best power and still keep EGT's manageable, I want to be able to pull my 30' gooseneck with camper and jeep on it. I have noticed that if I run at 1200 degrees too long I start to run into coolant temp issues so I would like to be able to run it hard and stay around 1000 degrees, is this even possible?

Thanks. BTW I am at 6000 feet and frequently travel the rockies.
