That's interesting. I'm specifically referring to peak power EGT's, not sure if that's what you're talking about as well?
I've always seen a reduction in EGT's, unless the methanol percentage and amount starts getting excessive. My experience is limited to a small sampling of diesel engines, however.
When looking at FAQ's from some water injection vendors they seem to indicate a position that mirrors my experience, that it lowers EGT's. A couple examples:

Would be interesting to see your logs showing an increase in EGT's with and without injection. Maybe post them in one of the water/methanol injection threads?
