Low Boost
I have a 2006 F-350 6.0L. I purchased it in January and have since put a S&B cold air intake and coolant filter. I also installed a SCT SF3 programmer and an Edge Insite CTS monitor. I can only get a max of 26 psi of boost and my EBP is at 38 psi @ WOT. Also my EBP runs at 5 psi at an idle and around 18-20 psi driving down the road. What should my EBP be at as I think these numbers seem high? I have a EGR delete kit, new oil cooler and new EBP sensor, blue fuel spring upgrade, DSL Stainless 4" Turbo back cat delete exhaust and HPOP upgrade kit to install when I find the time. Any ideas as to why I have no boost? My 04' could get 35-40 psi of boost. With all this work done.
Thanks, Doug

I'm running my SCT SF3 on performance mode. (+120hp)' I also put a Bullet Proof Diesel 6 phase FICM on it (set at 48v). I took it for a few more test runs and it seems to be around 13-18 psi EBP @ 60mph and 3-4psi EBP @ idle, and it peaks at about 36-38psi EBP @ WOT. The best boost I could do is 25psi. Like I said earlier my '04 could see 35-40 psi boost and I know these 6.0L are famous for blowing the intercoolers and boots when there cranked up. This truck just doesn't seem to have the pull my '04 had at (+80hp tune)

Not sure what your issue is (or even if you have one), but 35-40 psig boost is unusually high! I do know a few folks that ran boost numbers that high, but IIRC they were at or over 500 rwhp (and there are not all that many folks over 500 rwhp).
I assume you are studded (and your 04 was also studded?)?

You may blow a Head Gasket that high Boost
And to check any Numbers for EBP the truck needs tune back to Stock and you will take the numbers in Park with A/C OFF at KOEO--Low Idle--High Idle (2500rpm)
Driving it and taking Numbers like you are is in an Uncontroled enviroment and too many varibles to really be accurite
