Need some info on Boost readings from my 1C turbo

[dakotafear3088]

Guys, I believe the turbo is slowly going in my deuce and was wondering what the boost gauge should read for my 1C turbo... First question, whats the boost reading in psi at idle... my rig idles at 850 rpms. what should the gauge read running down the road at 50 mphs... just cruising not racing it? and when going up moderate hills what is the max spiked psi it can read? just wondering how much life I have left or how much power loss I have do to this.. Any input would be helpful... Thanks Guys

Jon, this is for a "D" turbo, which may be slightly higher than the "C", FWIW:

At idle: 0-1 psi
At 50 mph: 5-6 psi
Hill max reading (my experience): 12 psi

Jon, I swapped my 'D' turbo for a new 'C' turbo and it produces similar results as Bjorns.

I get 0 psi at idle, 4-6 psi at 50 mph cruise, and 8 psi max from my "C" turbo.
