low boost?
97 7.3 - my lazy butt never hooked up my boost gauge before any upgrades. I hooked up gauges last night seems i am only getting a max of 16 psi. Not sure if this is normal for the stock turbo or not. I cant find any info on line. Reading this forum sounds like someone may know. I have installed a AFE Intake, 3" downpipe to a 4" exhaust, TCS 6 position chip, and a ATS Intercooler. I thought boost should be around 23-25 psi but not sure?

It depends on where you live. If you are at a high altitude its hard to get more boost psi but not too much more. I think the 7.3 in those years only did between 15-18 but not sure. Do a search on the threads for normal boost pressure in 7.3 powerstrokes. Your upgrades allow for the air to move through your truck which is good. There is something out there just keep looking.

I agree, very high EGT's and your boost pressures will be less with an intercooler. When I put the intercooler on mine I had a friend help. I found after running it for a bit that I had similar things happening. My kind hearted helpful moron of a frind left a rag in one of my tubes. Thankfully, it didn't get to my turbo. I might have killed him. Just a thought.
