If you have a boost elbow on your turbo housing this will do what u want it to do. Its totally adjustable on psi and its cheap and I have one and love it! Adjustable Boost Elbow But I wouldn't totally disable the wastegate. Too much boost is not good for the turbo or motor. I wouldn't go any higher than 37 to 40 psi.

Ya, what he said. but your not doing any good pushing a stock turbo over 35psi and i wouldnt feel comfertable pushing a stock hg over 30psi. but some people have and had no issues. its all up to you and how much money you have if you do have a head gasket fail.

make sure you have the one that goes from the "t" on the turbo to the wastegate.do you have a boost gauge?how many pounds are you pushing.you could have leaks in your system.http://https://www.dieselbombers.com...tructions.html

ya it wouldn't suprise me if i was leaking because the line was very old and corroded... ya it was the right one, and i even checked it while running and when i unplugged it and hit the gas there was air spewing out the hole, so then i plugged it again and still notice no difference... no i dont have gauges
