Building boost the cheap way??
Today i was talking to my buddy who has a 04 with bully dog. I was kind and asked him how much psi he is running. he tells me 32 max, he says that what it will stay at (auto) I told him to run a boost elbow to allow more boost.
He goes ha do it the old fashion way! Put a hoseclamp on the wastegate line for a restriction
Would it even work at all??
I would like to know, I never heard such a thing

Yes it will, and a few members will attest to that. Also, 35psi is about the limit on the turbo for an 03-04, he's at a safe range.

I have an 06 and was wondering the same thing. I have Smarty on the truck also. What is the boost fouling on the Smarty? and what kind of benefit would I get from an elbow?

On my buddys first truck we got to playing around and used a small crescent wrench to clamp off the wastegate line. Worked just fine on his 2nd gen. He got about 5 more lbs boost on his HX35.

Download any version of the smarty "aftermarket turbo" software and you will then have boost fooling enabled.....on my 06 / stock turbo i can hit 40psi regularly

lol.. yha, kinda what ive been thinking... i only saw that much once... normaly i back off around 40.
what is interesting is how low of a presure the stock wastegate creeps at.
with my current setup i can hit 20psi@1200rpm with the wastgate hooked up it barely makes 10psi@1300rpm it seems like soon as it builds ANY boost it cracks open. i didnt ever try a boost elbow, i just went stait to the cheep ez fix
