a boost fooler sends back an artificial boost reading to keep the vehicle from defueling and to keep from setting off the ses light, the only time you would need one is if you are running boost levels above the high limit for your vehicle.

Added stress and wear on a stock GTP38 turbo, primarily the journal bearing.
