I can get well over 15 psi with a mostly stock truck.
What other symptoms are there? Smoke or no? Lack of power?
- Try unplugging the MAP sensor and see if any change in performance.
- Unplug the ICP and see what happens.
- Keep a fuel gauge on it while driving and see if the pressure drops under load. It should not drop much if any. You can use a cheap 0-100psi electric oil pressure gauge to make it easier to see in the cab w/o risk of broken gauge causing fuel leak in the cab.

What kind of fittings are you using? When I first put mine in, I tightened the fittings too far down, and I pretty much clamed the line off, I also had alot of needle flutter, too.

I still think its the line, it has a KINK in it somewhere, not a leak.

Have you pulled the turbo inlet hose yet? What is the condition of your compressor wheel? Has the turbo been "dusted" prior to you owning the truck? I will agree, even with stock injectors, an intake, chip and exhaust should easily net you 20+ psi boost. I dont want to sound like a broken record just becaust I myself just went through this but....Make sure you dont have a turbo problem.96EDGEpsd said:

Your hose and hose barb are the source of your problems. You are (IMO) blowing past the hose barb when you are making the boost. Is that soft tubing? Surgical tubing? You may be able to fix it with a clamp, but I would run hard vinyl tubing, that uses compression fittings, like this:
