if you dont have gauges you souldnt be messing with it. you can get it too hot and melt a piston fast if you dont have any.

 

i have that BD boost elbow in the mail i'm just waiting for it to come so i tried to plug it and see what happened

 

YOU NEED A BOOST AND PYROMETER BEFORE YOU MESS WITH IT,WHEN THEY GET OVER 35PSI THEY START SUPER HEATING AND THEY ARE CAPABLE OF MORE BOOST THAN THAT.YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT'S LEAKING BAD ENOUGH IT COULD NOT BE BOOSTING HARDLY (WHY YOU CAN'T TELL ANY DIFFERENCE) AT ALL.CHECK ALL THE BOOTS GOING TO AND FROM YOUR INTERCOOLER.

 

if it was boosting how could you tell?

 

the only way i know is get a boost gauge.i guess you could drill and tap a hole in your intake and run a line in the truck and hold your finger over the end of it!!just kiddin,would prob.work,but your best gettin a guage.

 

ya i just bought all 3 gauges i need tonight so now i'll be able to tell

 

good idea!

 

instead of tapping the intake horn you can use the factory location which is under the intake manifold.... but yes install same gauges and dont do over 38.... they start to become inefficiant.....
