boost elbow or not?!

I was thinking about getting one of the brass boost elbows from edge and was wondering if it's even worth my time. Will i see any performance from putting it on if i don't have a new turbo, injectors, box, etc. What ever you can tell me i'd appreciate it.

The big change in performance is almost entirelly the result of your bilfold being noticablly lighter. General consensus is replacing the K&N with something that doesn't promote engine wear.

That thing most men have in a back pocket. I'm sure my poor spelling of billfold messed you up. Sorry

Boost elbow does nothing unless you have a box with a boost fooler built in.... or a boost fooler by itself. No real benefit on having additional boost on a stock truck.
