Curious to what people are reading on their boost gauges...
I have a 97 PSD and I am pushing 10-12 psi
I have some bent fins in the wheel.
Im wondering what others psi is compared to mine.
All stock by the way.

I am not entirely sure. They were like that when I picked the truck up. I had to turbo off to replace a leak and two or 3 fins are bent. Im guessing some painfull object went through the intake causing this problem. -

Could be anything, even contact with the housing. New compressor wheels are only about 80 bucks, but pull the housing off and make sure there is no contact there.

10-12psi sounds about right for a stock obs, you have AA injectors which are only pushing about 90cc of fuel compared to the Superdutys 140cc...

Stock superdutys with an intercooler are around 19-20 stock so your right about where you should be. -

i just picked up a turbo from a 2000 powerstroke. it also has a banks compressor wheel. it ran me 50 bucks... im going to swap the compressor wheels and sell the rest of the turbo. Or possibly trade. -

Your not going to see any change persay... The most common mod people do is to swap that very wheel out and put in a OBS/E-99 compressor wheel... -

Swapped the wheels. Buddy of mine pulled the turbo for me...biggest pain in the ass ever. The bends in my fins were not bad at all. Bent them back actually. -

I push about 33 psi with a chip, intake, and exhaust -
