New to PSDs max boost pressure stock

[skippi]

Sorry guys for such a newbie question

but what is the approx max boost
pressure I should see on
my factory boost gauge in my
07 6L - 11 kmi.

I do have an SCT (Eric and Ted) tune for "street" loaded.
Intake elbow and zoo dad

My worries center around the talk of
needing a work out weekly.
I've been lame on this one due to illness.

Seems like lately I only see about 22 psi
Ambient temp around 30 deg F

Truck warmed up (20 miles)
WOT on medium hill -> 22 psi

I think I used to see approx 30
Ambient temp 70 deg F

Could the vanes in the VVT be getting rusted
and if I drive it like I stole it
will it
free them.

Thanks again from a new to this diesel stuff guy.

My 06 I can hit 30-32 on a good day stock. Hard to say what that is in real numbers though... don't have a real gauge... yet.

Hey Bush... check your PM...

lol I thought I was pushing mine hard with a bullydog PMT at 27 PSI. I have it set to defuel at 30. I dont feel so bad now lol.

Cheers

First of all, welcome to SDD.com skippi.

Are you wanting stock boost #'s, OR

boost #'s while running the SCT?

mine has hit 27psi, basically a stock truck...i might get more if i held it down longer....

Thanks for the great welcome guys
This forum is the best!!

My truck is a 2007 F250 CC SWB w/ 11 kmi.
except for the noted mods, she is stock.
I have Eric's "street" tune loaded.

I am looking for what I should see approximately on
the factory gauge -- knowing they are some what speculative
I think she is not pulling as hard as she did.

Thus the question.

I must say again
"Thanks for the welcome"

I know with my SCT and the custom tunes it has on it, my aftermarket boost gauge hits a maximum of 35psi. I dont really know how accurate the stock boost gauge is. I would suggest installing some "real" gauges in the future as time and money allows.

My 05 with the mods listeg in my sig, will hit 35 psi on a good hard pull, hits 32-33 almost everytime it's driven
