Poulsbo1,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.
Sounds to me like you both need to have a little more fuel added to the fire.
Turn the IP up another flat.
Power Stroke engines started at 225 HP in 94 and went up from there.
The 2003 7.3 with a manual transmission was rated at 275 HP.
What year is your friends Power Stroke?
I am running no muffler and 3" pipe about 5 feet long till it splits into two 3" stacks.
That helps with boost at lower RPM's since there is less exhaust restriction.
I would find out about adjusting the waste gate a couple pounds higher on the max boost. A stock 7.3 should be able to handle 14 PSI without any problems.

Dave, how much noise would I create if I pulled the Banks muffler and inserted a straight pipe in place of it? My wife and I take LONG trips and I don't want to hear her gripe. Do you think that would help with the back press/additional boost?

I've seen a few Banks mufflers that were of the large offset variety. Not good for a turbo. If the in and out are inline with each other, it may be OK. They are a little loud without the muffler, but mainly on decel.

shayusaf,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.
Not sure, but I think that one is long gone.
Have you looked in the classified's here on FTE?
I have not looked through them recently, but there were one or two systems there a while back.
