8V92 Turbo Boost

[johnorud]

I have the same problem, maximum boost is 15 pounds. I have a good
diesel mechanic coming over to look at the engine next week when I
get back for New Mexico. His opinion is the injectors may not have
been set correctly, the exhaust expansion joint is leaking, or the
turbo has gone bad. I have checked the fuel pressure and it is ok. I
will let you know what I find out when we finally figure it out.
