Default how much psi should my stock turbo running

My 94 7.3 f350 turbo diesel runs at around 7psi I feel like that's a little low. how much should it be running at and what's the max my engine can handle?

15-18psi stock at WOT...

Is your 94 a Powerstroke or an IDI with factory turbo?

Where is your oil fill tube at? On the valve cover or in the front of the motor?

I don't know much about IDI's, but i'm not sure there is a whole lot of performance upgrading to do to those trucks. They just run.

I don't think you need to worry about blowing anything up. Check out the IDI section below this section that your in and do some searching on things you can do.
