2002 7.3 Ford Boost Pressure?
We have a F-250 4X4 with a 7.3 Diesel and 6 Speed Manual. I use a scan gauge to monitor engine data. We bought the truck new and it seems to be in very good shape but I am wondering where I can find...

We bought the truck new and it seems to be in very good shape but I am wondering where I can find what the Turbo Boost should be at a given RPM and throttle position.
(The scan gauge displays 4 parameters at a time and can be configured to display RPM, %Throttle Position, Turbo Boost in PSIG, and induction temperature if I am not mistaken.)
Thanks for any help.
As mentioned there are too many factors that determine boost with load being the major one. On a stock engine you should see around 15 to 18# max and you will set an SES light and go into a defueling mode for several minutes if you exceed 25#. My Van has a slightly different turbo than the F-series, but neither IIRC are designed to be run at more than 25# for any length of time.
