I run the TST, have hit 33psi of boost. Easy to install and really like it. All of the programmers have a boost fooler built in. I have an Edge Juice with attitude.

It is all regulated by the spring pressure.

+1 on the TST - used to be a lot cheaper than the BD one too but I think they are close in price now.

with the TST did you ever have to worry about over boost, or going over 35 PSI

i think im going to buy the TST one, it just looks more stout!

i was worried about it because you cant adjust it, unlike the other J-hook...

im only hoping/trying to get 28-30 PSI of boost!

You could just get a turnbuckle from lowes or HD and prob save some $.

If you have the HX-35...I wouldn't worry about it. W/my setup it has never been an issue. You could even install the turn buckle solid on one end and spring on the other.

I'd still proceed w/doing it. Think about finding a used HX....it would bolt right on.

With the TST I can very rarely hit 35lbs w/Edge and DD1 injectors - and I never worry about. I had the turnbuckle and easily reach 40psi all the time so I went to the j-hook instead as it was my daily driver and I didn't want to grenade the turbo. You'll be fine with the j-hook.
