To hot?

[2000_f350]

Running at 65mph empty I am seeing 800 deg egt temps and about 10 pounds of boost. I have a 4" turbo back and no tunes. Getting around 18 to 20 mpg and power feels ok. I just changes the fuel and air filters. Just want to see if ths is normal. Also trans is about 145 to 150. Is that ok?

numbers seem right except for the boost, i've never seen 10lbs of boost going down the highway... Am i mis reading something?

I was thinking less than 5 going down the highway at 65

Maybe a head wind is causing the 10 psi sometimes ?

that could be it, but he says this like its an average of what he is seeing, you wouldnt always have that headwind haha. And at 10psi of boost i wouldnt think you'd be seeing almost 20 MPG?

I just went and go food. I looked again and it's more like 7psi.

I guess that may just be the difference between a SD turbo and a OBS turbo, but i am under 5 when crusing and i can spike it to 35 if i really try
