Default Boost Elbow

Hey guys I've heard about boost elbows what kind of psi do those run and what kind of power do they add. I have heard they add a sweet turbo sound also. My truck runs around 35 to 40 psi when you really get on it now what will aboost elbow do?

if you are running that kind of psi with a stock turbo now, you either have a boost elbow or some smo blocked off your wastegate. run a stock turbo in the low to mid 30's

i would check your reference line and check to make sure it isnt kinked off. if it is install a boost elbow an run 35 PSI the safe way. save your turbo and head gasket.
