Boost Elbow adjustment?

OK just installed my boost elbow I had sitting on my desk for awhile.

Without it I was getting 18# boost. With it on and the allen bolt all the way tight and into the elbow I get 23# of boost.

With the PUCK I'm getting 31-32#.

How is the adjustment of the elbow WORK?

Is'nt it better just to plug the hole on the turbo then since its so not doing anything?


Also did the APPS,tested and found a boost intake hose clampsss loose so I tightened; it leaked air at 10psi of air ,and then finally reinstalled the PUCK and truck runs much better, will try and see when I tow tommorow and see if power is really back!

ALso these # where with my stock exhaust back on since my truck was running bad and I wanted to see difference with all stock. Will put my 5" exhuast back on this weekend!

Will my boost increase even more with the 5" exhaust back on? I'm beggining to worry about the tranny holding that power!?!


Do these #'s sound right?
