Turbo boast?????

2002 Ford F250 4x4 195000 miles. Stock program. Supertuner cortex 1950 kpa 209 @3000 rpm =15 lbs boast I think. Had to be on it hard to get the 209 mostly in the 195 range. What do you think?

It is around 15 psi boost, depending on barometric pressure. That's in line with a stock calibration.

There are those that can get as high as 18 PSI without any modifications, and others still working on getting there.

Oh... and my 38R is limited down to 35 PSI boost. More "boasting" coming, but with a purpose: I have gauges for the exhaust temperatures and fuel pressure, plus I have OBDII gauges to monitor boost, fueling, backpressure, transmission, and other important parameters in the truck. If you suspect you have a problem, these gauges can tell you why you do.

I see you are gauged up. I don't know which direction to go in, gauges versus infinity. I feel like the truck my not be "healthy". Can the torque pro monitor fuel pressure thru the obdII or do additional sensors need to be installed. Sorry you are dealing with a rookie that uses the truck for towing a 9500lbs camper.

The only way to monitor fuel pressure on these trucks is by adding a sensor and gauge to the fitting at the back of the fuel bowl. The PCM does not read fuel pressure.
