Yes, I got mine from Dennis @ ITP. It's something like $45 without the filter and around $100 with a real nice filter/water separator & mounting bracket. I also got the HPX when I ordered the Hutch kit. The reason I didn't go for the filter option is I think it's overkill -- just my opinion here (I'm also cheap sometimes 
). The $5 clear filter I got from wally-world will keep any trash out of the pump as well as or better than the screens in the mixing chamber.

I have a TS Performnace 6 position and I have an early 99 with a 6 speed. The 140 horse setting is definatly not for everyday driving only for the occasional play time. You will get more power out of the 140 horse and of course smoke. My old powerstroke was an 02 it was running 28PSI and this truck I'm running 35 PSI of boost and I have blown the doors of the 02.

In my case, I have beaten or at least hung with mod'ed Chevys and Dodges with the mods listed below. Stock trucks of either kind have been no match for me. Looking forward to see how I do on the dyno though...

i second what izzy said about the intank mod...do it..looking at pix and reading how to do this mod is a lot harder then just doing it..i noticed a little better MPG and the injector's are alot more quitter now..i can still hear #6 and #8 but its a lot better..it also runs alot more smoother at idle..i used the ITP kit with the filter and water drain..i also like the idea you have with the clear bubble Joe..

It is possible the previous owner used a programmer and did not return it back to stock. This could be the explaintion of the higher boost with no chip installed.

Actually I never thought about the previous owner having a tuner.
I have had 2 different gauges for boost just to make sure they were reading right. I'm getting my boost reading digitally from the MAP sensor and also Manually. The manual one I drilled and tapped the “Y” pipe in front of the turbo. And if this wasn't enough I even spliced into the MAP line with a “T” fitting.

Wow. I wonder if the smaller tubing & spider causes higher boost pressures. Gene has the early 99 as well and I know he's not seeing those kinds of boost numbers. But I'm thinking along the same lines as Diane. Your "stock" numbers sound like tuned numbers to me.
Gene --> I couldn't resist considering some of the olfactory delights I've encountered so far. Since you're still in Cali, I'm 10 hours ahead of you. It's ~9am here, so that makes it yesterday where you are.
Up for me is approximately 90 degrees off of up for you...

i am tuned with DP tuner and with the red line unhooked on my early 99 i could get 32 to 33 and 26 to 27 red line hooked..it is very hard on an early 99 turbo to do this....i can do the same with the 99.5 turbo with the wicked wheel only the 99.5 pushes more air
so i run 100 to 150 cooler EGT's..but it is still not good for the turbo to go over 25lb..you can build the same boost## but its in a smaller tank..meaning less air..the painted parts in the pix below are the 99.5 turbo..you can see why it flows more air then the early 99...i am not saying you are not hitting 35..but it is rare to here it on a non chiped stock turbo..
