Default 40lbs of boost

with my wastgate blocked off i was getting right at 40lbs of boost i ran like this for awhile but it kinda hit me that my headgasket may not last much longer so i took it off. with my fuel pate came a boost elbow i dont think its the kind u can adjust. if i put this on would it push that much boost?

x2 set it right around 30-35. above that is just hot air
my egts are alot cooler n more controllable with the dtech at 40psi than my stocker pushin 50.

Alot of that has to do with the increased CFM of a larger turbo compared to a stocker. Your pushing more air with the 62 over a stocker all through the range of the turbo

You can adjust a non-adjustable boost elbow by drilling it out some. Just go in small steps till you get it 30-35#.
