Hey guys. Im just wonderin what the normal max boost pressure is for my truck? The highest ive hit is 20 lbs. before and after my chip. it doesnt have boost fooler so itll stop at 20 even if i give it a little more peddle. Im just wonderin if thats high? low? whats the norm?

Your EZ has boost fooling built in. If you put a j-hook or turnbuckle on the wastegate, you could get up to around 28-30#'s of boost probably. Just Search the site for j-hook and/or turnbuckle to find out more about them. There's been tons of discussion on here about them. BTW, 20#'s is about right for not having anything on the wastegate.

Is a j-hook or turn buckle going to keep my wastegate closed at all times or only close it partially? Is it a good idea to have the wastegate shut or nearly shut from either of those options? Or could that mess things up in the future?

J-hook holds it shut longer to build more boost. There is an adjustable one so you can regulate the amount of boost you want.
A turnbuckle holds it shut all of the time which shouldn't be a problem unless you do alot of mods to the point that ur pushin 45-50 psi all of the time, then it could be a problem, ur headgasket may not like you for it.

Alright makes sense. Thanks hink

Ok wait a sec one more thing. Where can i get a J-hook or turnbuckle? Is it something i could order off a site or from a shop? What about self install? plausable?

Available at any hardware store. I just use the 3/16" double hook. I think they are around 5"

Hooks to the gate arm up to the housing.

http://www.modsfortrucks.com/product...urbo%27&d=1094 Here's a link for the adjustable j-hook (link is for reference only). I've heard anywhere from 4-5" for the trunbuckle, I don't know for sure cause I've never used the turnbuckle. I use the j-hook pictured above. Maybe Fishin2Deep4u can get u set up with a j-hook, or get the turnbuckle from a hardware store, Lowes or Home Depot should have them too.

I don;t carry any of the hooks. I was suggesting the hardware store option.

I ran one for a few years and now it's on my dad's truck. It cost under $5 and I thought I had the wrong thing. I think it cam from Ace Hardware.

Worked great and still going strong.

Sorry, was just tryin to throw ya a bone.

Fishin2Deep4U

I appreciate it.

I like to try to pass on the cheap tips I have been given over the years. I am like everyone else, I want the best bang for the buck.

While I am glad to take your money, I am even happier to help someone out as much as I have been helped over the years.

Thanks again.
