essentially the boost fooler works by "fooling" the ecm from the signal sent to it by the MAP sensor. This allows you to run more boost than stock without setting an overboost code because the ecm now thinks you are making less boost that what you really are. It will absolutely help with any box/programmer that does not do its own fooling. It will help only a little bit on a stock truck to the extent the stock fueling will allow you to spin the turbo that much more. I think it's a good thing to have in your back pocket for when when you need it in the future, but not absolutely necessary where you are at right now.
