I saw in someones post that they were doing some voodoo to add boost? Turnbuckle trick, come on let me in!!! How do I get more?

Not my truck, it belongs to Gotlift01...

It will get you more boost, but without a box, the ECM will see the boost, and defuel, so you won't make any more power.

Only for Auto Trannys... Is this you? Your Signature does not say.
Also need a boost fooler (EZ, VA Box, Smarty, etc) before your computer will allow higher boost without defueling!

HEY THAT PICTURE LOOKS FAMILIAR!!!!!

Yeah the turnbuckle works awesome, I actually removed the spring in the picture off of mine and used the turnbuckle by itself so it's now completely locked shut Need to update my picture now

32-34psi is what I'm seeing now compared to the 20psi I was seeing before the turnbuckle!!

If you have an auto and a boost fooler, take a tape measure and measure from the back of the arm on the wastegate to something up front to attach the other end to. I actually used 2 turnbuckles and hooked them end to end so I had more options to attach the hook to ( plus it made it easier to crank the poop out of it so it didn't come loose and vibrate off ) Not that I ever had that happen

It's actually pretty easy and will cost you no more than $10 bucks MAX to do!

Locked shut with that much psi? I have that same spring and I got that. hmmm must have cranked the turnbuckle down more than I thought. I used a U-bolt off of the alt bracket and attached the turnbuckle to that.

I had about the same psi with the spring on there as well but just decided to take the spring off cuz I didn't like the way it looked. But that spring I had was one strong little mother, it took some force to even budge that little puppy!
