The wrench light will come on above 28lbs.... custom tuning prevents that, its that way on purpose, at least mine is.
VGT max is 15 and full closed is 85. If it goes lower than 15, it's probably broke. 77 probably average at idle, 20 or so at WOT.
Lots of good reading here to get a handle on things.
I've seen no more than 44 on EBP. But it sounds like your trucks working fine.

The guy that build it said it should be putting out 35 psi and I'm only getting 28 I want to get an aftermarket boost gage and when the torque converter locks up it lags and instead of building boost it loses it. So my egts get high I want to get the boost back up not sure what's up with it! Also forgot to mention I have srl+ tune on it and does the same stock

What are your egts? Like crusing on a flat road going 70 it will be 650-700 then aproching a hill it will kinda bog down and if I keep my foot on the peddle like 1/4 throttle it will go high as 1100-1200 not sure if that's night or not

I run 600-700, sometime less. If you lug the truck, EGTs will increase during a hill climb. The trick is to make the truck down shift and get the boost and RPM to come up, that increases air flowing to cool the truck.
I can hit those numbers on a heavy throttle run.
Your truck is acting fine. You've got all the right stuff to lower EGTs... large exhaust, bigger turbo, custom tuning and a gauge to warn you before its to late.
Whats the MTW stage 2 turbo?
