Is your truck an automatic or a manual? If it's an auto you'll have to either get a J-hook or a turnbuckle to keep the wastegate shut to build more boost.

But if it's a manual, then you can use a boost elbow to thread into the turbo to allow more boost.

If you have the Edge chip as it says in your signature, you don't need a boost fooler. The chip has one built into it. That way you can up the boost and not throw any codes or defuel.

Did you install the Edge? It should have came with a 90 degree brass elbow that screws into the turbo where the wastegate line attaches.
