Thats way too hot, for the probe being right off the exhaust port. I would not puch 1600 degrees at all. You say you are rich, but how do you know this? Only really good way to tell is a wideband o2, NOT the stock o2 voltage readings. YOu may be too lean. What turbo do you run, and what boost do you run? What is your exhaust setup? All these can effect EGT's. I am kind of having the same issue(not that hot though) at 15 psi on the S16G. I will hit around 1575 on a LONG 4th gear pull, and acording the the AEM wideband, i'm around a 11.0:1 A/F, which is pretty damn rich. I'm starting to lead to the thought of the exhaust is causing a flow restriction, and the motor can't breathe out the gasses quickly enough, causing high EGT's. I would first add more fuel and see what happens. If you feel a noticalbe loss in power, then I'd be looking into an exhaust upgrade. If you feel power stay the same, or increase, then you were too lean. Of course, this is best done on a dyno and logging your A/F on a wideband.
One more thing, just because your EGT's say 1600 or whatever,doesnt mean your pistons are at that temperature. You have to remember that you have heat being disipated into the head, cylinder walls, and piston skirts, oil and coolant..  13.5 @108 MPH-2.2 60ft(stupid FWD!)
