wow Im with ya NCFPD
never seen anything go bad by removing the ring, but some one dose

 

Plus something interesting and related for your information as far as boost and temperature. I know a gent with twins (compound) turbos. With the same turbos and injectors but only the addition of a wastegat before the small turbo (to vent off flow to big turbo so the small (hx35) turbo didnt heat it up on same dyno same day picked up 85 horsepower without any other mechanical changes. The boost was exactly the same as was the fueling. This free horsepower was due to not being ran through the hx35 and being heated up. So would more boost help you? Only if you don't get the heat. With the hx35 above 35lbs they heat like crazy. That is what your wastegate is for but remember you are actually overrunning its flow capacity anything above 22-28 lbs so then the boost goes up as does the heating. So then to save the engine internals from meldown- you must back off the fuel and then there goes power. Turbo sizing is very important and if your stuck with stock- don't overboost as your wasting your time and risking engine failure.

 

running a turbo past its efficiency range is like turning an air conditioner into an air compressor your not gaining anything but risk of blown head gasket. IIRC an hx35 efficiency range max is 23 PSI

 

on the adrenaline does anybody know if a boost fooler is already built in and can they unlock it, it seems it would be possible please pm me on this as to should i spend the money on a boost fooler or can i clamp of my wastegate without throwing codes with the adrenaline

 

the addr. does have a built in boost fooler

 

Any chip that plugs into the map sensor is "fooling" the computer.
