Normal Boost?

Normal Boost?
What is the normal boost pressure for the truck in my signature. I have a turnbuckle on the wastegate and with the XZT+ off i can get 30 psi of boost.
With the XZT+ on I get around 32-33 psi.
30 psi seems kinda high for a stock truck. I bought the truck used and don't know whats been done to it. Is there a chance it might have some larger injectors installed?

You have the HY-35 turbo. And yes 30 is pretty high for it.
It is possible that you might have some slightly larger then stock injectors but the more likely reason for your 30 lbs IMO is how tight you have your turn buckle.
The HY is such a small turbo that it doesnt take much fuel to get it up there. So if your waste gate is shut or nearly shut, that'd prob be a major part of it, if not all. JMO.
I was told back when I had that turbo that you dont wanna hit over 30 lbs or the risk of turbo failure is very close. Ive heard of a few guys hittin 38 lbs with em but I had my j-hook set so id stop dead at 29 lbs.
