Actually, that might be an outstanding idea. Significantly lower EGTs have no negative effect on a blower, and allow for more boost and/or no/less intercooling.

Additonally, more or less water/steam injection could be used to control the EGTs with FI motors, more than for the power stroke part. Sort of super-WI for making more power and more steam power for light-load cruise. Similar to the "on demand" Chrysler V8s and old Cadillac engines with 4 deactivating cylinders.
