Stock Boost PSI

Hi, just wondering what my boost psi should be. I get like 17 psi WOT. The needle flutters a little too. I'm not super confident in my t fitting that came with the kit though, the MAP ends were too small so I jury-rigged it with a lot of teflon tape wraps and hose clamps. It won't pull apart, but I have no way of knowing if it leaks or not.

17 psi is about right. Normally most people see 16-18 bone stock, assuming you haven't messed with the wastegate actuator adjustment.

You are in the "normal" range of boost for a stock truck. I would go to the hardware store plumbing section and see if you can find a better T fitting.
