1. "Boost fooler" is an inaccurate slang term attached to this piece. Boost "fooler" insinuates that the computer is seeing more boost than what is actually there.

2. The $80 for this BD plug in part is better spent in a seedy dive bar buying drinks for people you don't really like. I tried one on TWO 03 6.0s and it had the same negative effect on BOTH trucks in a short amount of time. EGTs would spike over 1000* and induce that wonderful whooshing noise out the turbo we all love.....at part throttle cruise! Eventually, both batteries had to be disconnected, simply removing the part didn't resolve the problem.

So give me a call, you can buy me a few beers and we can tell lies about life in general, or you can buy a BD boost builder. I can't overstate how much of a bad piece this is.

LOL, I love it Karl!


He's right though. You'd be better off saving your money for a better programmer. Once you have a programmer the boost fooler is useless anyways. More for stock trucks, but I hate anything that's tricking the computer into doing stuff it shouldn't be, I'd much rather have custom tunes wrote for my truck.
