On a mechanical waste gated turbo, it will also keep you from throwing an overboost code. Boost gauge will be needed, if you don't already have one.

My opinion is that you should buy a proper fueling enhancement lile a Edge, Quadzilla or such. Then you'll have a boost fooler and then the proper boost elbow for the turbo...

Fooling the boost isn't going to add fuel... So there is going to be a minimial gain from it...

the smarty already does boost fooling in its software so there is no need for a additional boost fooler

it really depends on if you want adjust on the fly or just program and have to program again to change something, both are excellent choices, you might also want to look at the Quad Adrenaline they have got most of the bugs worked out and most of the guys on here love em
