Normal stock boost psi?
Hey everyone. What would be a normal amount of boost on a stock truck? All I got so far for performance mods is a DIY intake and an old superchips tune. Exhaust and dp is on its way but that is all stock at the moment.
I max out at like 15psi.

Sounds about right.

AFAIK I have stock sticks and a 80 hp single chip (according to PO) and I hit 27 max.

ETA my truck has 120 cc cali injectors and the associated tuning, vs 90 for the federal trucks.

I can reach 22psi with stock sticks and the mods in my signature.

So from what im seeing, unless my superchips max tuner sucks, when i put my exhaust and dp on i should see at least a 5psi increase in boost... If I don't then my turbo needs a rebuild or i got bad injectors. Am I correct?

Or you have an exhaust leak between the exhaust manifolds and turbo.
