Default Adjustable elbow... set screw worked out..

So as the title says i have an adjustable boost elbow from edge (came with comp box) and i usually run with it all the way in... My dads truck broke down and i had to use mine to do all his hauling so i backed it off for quicker spool and lower EGT's and now its gone... where do i gwt one??? or do i have to get a new elbow???

no i would take the elbow off and go to any hardware store, its just a simple set screw! will be like .50 to fix it nothing too bad. i would also put something ie teflon on there to give it some "bite"

haha, nope, thats why i don't understand why people pay like $30 for these, all it does is block airflow, build one yourself and save the money for other mods

57psi on a stock hx35!!!!! if thats the case you need to go buy a lottery ticket tonight because you are the luckiest person on here . the hx35 maxes out at about 32-35 psi anything beyond that is just superheated air and overspun turbo, both of which are bad and actually hurt power then help it, its easy to get caught up in boost pressure but thats not what actually makes the power its air flow, say you have an hx35 at 35 psi it moves x amount of air, a bigger turbo at 35 psi will move a lot more air at the same boost pressure thus making more power, make sence?
