How to get more boost?
hey guys,
well Im feeling the hunger for more power, or at least more boost? Ive heard you can do a Boost elbow but whats a good set up If I do that, and what can be the pros and cons and things to consider before I do something Like that. My truck is mostly stock, upgrades are in my SIG. Truck does have 238K on the engine and tranny, still have not bought a programmer still cant make my mind up....

You need to add some more fuel to utilize more boost. The boost elbow is a simple device that restricts the amount of air that can go through and open the wastegate. By doing this it allows you to build and use more boost pressure.

I would suggest doing a 4" TBE, that will help.
