Does a 24V need a boost elbow?
 
So, my 99 is giving me 23psi of boost. Do I need a boost elbow to up that? Or is it electronically controlled like everything else on the truck :humm:...

thats about all your gonna get with a stock truck, and yes BD does sell a boost elbow but once you get that smarty on there, you should be hitting 30 psi no problem which is what the wastegate is set at:5:

MotorOilMcCall 01-27-2009 05:57 PM

You mean 23PSI is all I'm gonna get with an XZT (or stock). So the stock wastegate is set at 30PSI, I really shouldn't need a boost elbow is what you're saying.

stkdram55 01-27-2009 05:59 PM

you might be able to squeeze 35 psi with the boost elbow I cant exactly remember...but yeah 23 is about it stock or with that XZT IIRC.

Yup you need an adjustable boost elbow :U:

I think I have one of these off my edge cuz I had the hy and couldn't use it let me know if you want it.:c:

I thought the wastegate was set at around 22 stock. You do need a boost elbow if you want to take advantage of any mods though.

I thought they were at 22 also because anything more than that without a box would set the cel.

When my truck was stock, it would hit 25 psi and after I blocked the wastegate it would hit 30 psi. Now with all my bombs, it will go alot higher.

With a stock turbo your gonna lose efficiency rating around there someplace after 30psi and anything after that is just wasted wear and tear on the turbo.
