Default 3 pillar guages hooked up, couple questions

On my 2002 I got 3 guages I had hooked up and I was wondering on the boost what should i be pushing for a stock Turbo? When i get on it shows about 20psi is this normal? Just seems like it should have a little more pick up. Also on the fuel pressure gauge does it just spice into the fuel inlet to the injection pump? Is it just rubber line it splices into? Also i have read about a valve I put inline so i don't wreck the guage, where can i get these valves?

I had posted similar question. My truck with stock turbo no programmer is only pushing 16lbs when I'm really getting on it. I was told to look for leaks in the system. I haven't had time to do it yet. So checking for leaks would be a good start.

20 is not bad but I hear people pushing about 25 stock..... 20 doesn't bother me but it just seems. Like it can push more. Also I just thought aren't the wastegates set a sertain way and they can probably be adjusted to push more
