damn i always forget that part. im used to seeing guys around here with bone stock trucks and guages dont even cross my mind anymore, but that would be the first thing to do, especially with an automatic an #100 plate

I have a 96 and the boost elbow hole is already there, i took the old one out and put my new one in, it's as simple as a turn of a wrench and turn of a screw driver!

the only differenace you will notice is that it controls boost bressure, closed give you more open gives you less. all it does is controll the wastegate
