01 f250 boost question
hey guys i am about too install gauges (trans temp-pyro egt-boost)
my question is after searching here on the forums i cant find how high our trucks boost? i have a 20 psi boost gauge, but will the truck boost over 20 psi?
im trying to figure this out so i can get a new gauge that goes to 30 psi if necessary,before i install everything. thanks to all who reply !!

Your boost will see the 20 to 30 psi range, if you install either a programmer or a chip that ups the performance. It sounds like that's the dirction you heading. Always better to have too much than not enough. So I would say yes; go with the 30 psi gauge.

thanks guys for the feedback!
i plan on upgrading the compressor wheel with a banks one to produce more boost and reduce compressor surge. so id rather buy the correct one now.
these garrets are triple the size of the turbo i had on my subaru wrx, and garrets are much easier to work on instead of ihi turbos or mitsu turbos.
