    Trying to figure out if the numbers we're pulling for the 7.3L (14-18psi) is about right or low, any of y'all help me out with numbers?

    Hmm, with my 4 inch exhaust, and my tuner on the hottest tune it pushed 22. I had no change in numbers with only the exhaust. What's the psi on stock setting? 14 is a little low.

    I've read a few threads with similar boost numbers, the waste gate may be out of adjustment and not sealing, or there's a leak. Just throwing that out there with the info given.

    EGTs are around 800-900 cruising while towing. Highest boost number I saw going up the hill was 10, wasn't wide open though
