Re:waste gate question

on a 24v if completely close the wastegate you will set off a boost code resulting in a defueling. a turbomaster will let you set the boost pressure without setting a code. you have to get a fueling upgrade computer like tst or edge which has a boost fooler. if you are not adding fuel then the extra boost really wont help. the 12v does not have computers so it will not set any codes

Re:waste gate question

On a 12v it will give a little mpre when pulling a grade with extra throttle you get about 35-40 psi boost max at WOT resulting lower EGT's.<br><br>Just buy a $ 2.00 turnbuckle at the hardware store and be done with it, I've done it since my truck was a month old, glad I did.
