An adjustable boost elbow threads into the Turbo housing. Where the wastegate hose comes out of the turbo, there is a little brass fitting. The boost elbow replaces that, and has an allen screw that you can turn in or out to allow more or less air to travel through the wastegate hose.

boost elbow
I see the boost elbow won't work on the turbos that come on 2000's w/automatics. What about a '99 w/auto ?

daveg,
the boost elbow should work on a 99 automatic because we have the HX35 Turbo, not the HY.

the elbows work ok. but the pressure seems to equal out. if you do not have the hardline to the wastegate (hy35) use a real boost controller. I like turbosmart controllers, they are also gated and help to lower spool time

If you don't have a boost fooler, and exceed 20 psi or so it will set a code.
boost fooler is electronic and keeps the computer from seeing the max boost.
Most boxes have then, but it can be bought alone.
also you will need more fuel to really need it.

Check out Jobe performance. They have a dial a boost system that works real good. You can run a pre-set boost or with the flip of a switch run the max. I get 42psi out of my stock 2002 turbo
