It never worked as well as expected, and maxxed out around 8-10 psi.

Short answer, no. Powerstrokes and IDI's really only share displacement. I did it about 6 years ago and all the pipes, drains, etc. had to be fabricated. For the time and expense and grief I could have bought a new IDI specific turbo like a Banks, ATS, Hypermax.

well how far did you crank the pump? boost is mostly derrived from how much fuel you are putting into the combustion chamberand how easily it can flow out.
IE: more fuel in, more combustion taking place, bigger volume of gas going out the exhaust.
ive helped. i did most of the work he payed for everything. put a turbo off of a 3126 CAT onto a 7.3, we had rebuilt the engine and made sure it could hold 35-40 lbs of boost. then cranked that bad boy. we had to fine tune it a few times by turning some more screws up
there was smoke on upshifts while waiting for it to spool. it was about like putting a 62MM onto a cummins. it wasnt bad. could have been better but it still built 30-35 lbs of boost. we over built the engine for a reason. had one off injectors made to provide proper atomization at those kinds of pressures, sent the pump off to get reworked. and ran a 4 inch down pipe to dual 6 inch stacks.anything is possible. it just takes more money than other routes.

Like you say, time and money will do anything. My pump was cranked up, I forget now how much, but enough that I was rolling coal.
To me, It just isn't more efficient than getting the system designed for the job originally.

How did you keep the head gaskets in, valley pan in and the exhaust manifolds on it?
I know what I had to do at a machine shop to run mid 20's.
40 PSI make the effective compression ratio 80 to 1.
