Most cars don't have rods nearly as strong as the ones found in DSMs, so even if there were some, there is a good chance that they wouldn't be worth using anyways.

EGT don't tell you that much. They are effected the most by ignition timing. High timing = low EGTs, low timing = high EGTs. They don't tell you if the car is detonating or going to blow up. You should see over 1400f though even under perfectly normal conditions. Was the sensor probe after the turbo or bad?
