Typically a max of 16-18 psi of boost at WOT or under heavy load is about average. That's for a bone stock Superduty PSD.

I see you are putting the turbo on the '86 6.9. Let us know how it goes and what boost you get once installed. Pic of the install would be great.

Good luck.

Oh I didn't even see that.

With a chip these turbos can see 25+ PSI of boost. However, you generally don't want to sustain above 25 psi for very long, or you can end up thrashing the bearings. Since you are putting this on a 6.9L, I'm sure your boost levels will be low enough to keep the turbo happy.
