12v Turbo Maxing At 17PSI

depends on what brand you get, if it says "adjustable boost elbow" yes.
I know TST's used to, but not sure now
I know BD's does cause thats what I have
I know Source Automotives does

You might be avle to make something work, but for the minimal cost of a boost elbow I wouldn't waste much time on it.
However as long as you have a boost gauge and you keep it under 35 psi, temporarally you could disconnect the boost line to the waste gate and plug it off. But at the same time without pushing more fuel to it don't be suprised it you don't see 35PSI.

IF he is trying to run that kind of pressure and use the stock fueliing plate it will not see 35lbs of boost.He will need some type of fueling plate to get the bigger boost and no amount of just restricting the gate will give it to him.Fuel+Air=Power.
I would also make sure the wastegate is functional as I have seen many older 12v's with the gate frozen open and no matter if you put a plate in or not they do not build boost.

no my wastegate is not frozen it works great for the past few days i have driven with my wastegate crimped and it has made it so instead of maxing at 17PS! i can get her up to 25 without breaking a sweat but that is not enough i am going to order a #5 fuel plate, 4000 GSK and 370 stage 2 injectors so i think i will make 35PSI

Just make sure you install the boost elbow when you get that other stuff, with that much fuel you will likely overspeed the turbo!!! Stock turbos don't like morre than 35psi
Also you do have a pyrometer correct? that much fuel will likely push EGTs through the roof with the stock turbo!!!
