Boost pressure

hey all
new to owning the cummins trucks. (old ford diesel guy)
How much boost do you see on your trucks? I'm looking to pick up some gauges and need to know what range. I'm not planning on twins or anything bigger than what I have.

thanks
Mike

0-60 psi is a good range to get. It will still be good if you do a little modding.

When I did the gauges on my 05, I went with Isspro 60# boost.
Usually, at WOT, I see 32#.
Dont have anything special on the truck but went with the 60# just incase I want to add something later.

How much is too much for a stock truck?
I'd like to put a QZ X2 on mine, but was going to go with a pyro and trans temp. Should I worry about boost?

I was seeing 22-24 PSI on my stock truck.

I then installed an adjustable turbo elbow and can now hit 35-38 PSI.

You are also running an additional boost fooler with the Smarty JR?

If so, why? The JR does boost fooling upto 44 PSI

Stock will run 32 max. The WG will open at 32 and depending on load will run from 28-32 there after.
