i had this argument with a few guys a month or so back. there are 2 kinds of boost elbows. one that has an allen screw in it and a pin hole, and one that is just an elbow with a small orifice in the center of it that limits the air flow to the wastegate.

elbo seems to work fine... just ran threw the entire front end of the truck and installed some bilstein 5100's, and am dien to do something with the steering.. truck drives down the road good no deathwobble or anything but just want to replace it, im debating on weather i should do 98 hd steering, 3rd gen steering but then i have to reeem out my knuckles, or if i should custom build some hemi joint steering..

ive also consiterd a ram asist. think it would be a little much... but would be kickass to have!

Don't do a "heim joint" steering set up on a street driven truck. That stuff is OK for off road race trucks that get checked every race and joints replaced before they fail. I believe heims in your steering would be more of a liability than it is worth. Just my 2 cents worth of opinion. (well 1 cent after taxes!)
