boost elbow ?

Hi I was digging through the glovebox, and found the L shaped bleed off elbow that came with my old superchip plug-in box, which I am still using, my question is I know what is purpose is but i didn't use it because I have a metal line where it goes and the instructions said that was because it was an automatic, and I wasn't supposed to use it, but

I have a friend who has a rubber line in this spot (between the turbo and wastegate) and his is an automatic also,
now i would like to use this to see if it gives me any more power, what do you guys think is it worth the trouble if cutting the metal line to fit this in

Don't cut the line, search j-hook or turnbuckle. You can use a turnbuckle and manually close the WG or get a j-hook to allow the wg to open at about ~25-30 psi and yes it does help with a box.

or just pinch that line of with some pliers, basically stop the watse gate from getting any air presure so it will never open.

Yes if you took the chip out you would have to renable the wastegate so you didn't set over boost codes. Didn't think of that.
