Mine doesnt make any boost in park. Thats wierd. I dont know if this is the problem but is your boost gauge mechanical?

Why wouldnt the truck make boost at idle? Anytime you rev the engine it should make some boost...

Im pretty sure a 7.3 wont. A 6.0 or 6.4 might. I just know mine doesnt. Maybe 2 psi but 10-15 psi is definitly new to me. Maybe the OP just has a banging turbo

When I put my boost gauge in I revved up to see it move. It didn't move until about 2500 RPM and it was only 1 or 2 PSI.
