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.

ok, I ve been wanting a 4in turbo back exhaust but Id like to get a new air filter system and a programmer before that.. SO when you say more fuel, you mean Programmers and injectors right? or just better flow of the exhaust?

I would get a fuel system and gauges before anything else.

Ive got gauges thats coverd, I plan on putting in a Fass LP this spring, but right now its got a healthy lift pump its brand new, My exhaust is straight piped (something to get buy untill I pony up for a 4 inch), all i realy need is a nicer filter, Im not looking for 500 horse put some extra umph.. thats all I also forgot to ask how much extra boost can the stock head handle...

Look into Quadzilla Boost Fooler. Im sure they have them for your year truck. On a stock setup, It will add btwn 5-8 additional psi with no additional fuel. Its plug-n-play and works.:tu:

Cool, I want to do some modification and squeze some hiding potential power out of my truck but nothing serious till I build the tranny, but I need a second vehicle before I do that...

fill out your sig so we know what u ready have... i wouldn't push her past 40 on your stock head bolts without studs, and someone correct me but isnt the stock hx35 lose efficiency around 38psi?? assuming u have an hx

but>>>boost fooler - boost elbow - BHAF let her breath!

smarty fools too up to 44psi i believe, not 100% sure though on your 2nd gen

my hx 35 seems weak after 35psi?

And I'm willing to bet you can push 35 without throwing codes, and if you have the fuel you could push that by adding the adjustable elbow
