Need to build an adjustable boost elbow... questions..
Need to build an adjustable boost elbow... questions..
In order to keep my drive pressure in check I want my WG back in the picture. I am going to run a line from the intake to the OE WG, and set it at about 35psi..
In order to make the install look clean I would like to use an adjustable boost elbow with 1/8" NPT on both side, vs the usual 1/8/ NPT x hose barb... I have been unable to find one for purchase so I plan to make one..
While the concept seems straight foreword I haven't ever looked at one up close. So some questions.
The adjutability just comes from not allowing full air to flow, thus reducing the pressure??
The adj elbows are just off the shelf 90*'s that have been drilled and tapped for a plug?
How tall is the plug, and how much of the fitting gets tapped (i.e. from the mount to the bend? just the bend?)
Thanks for all the help.

The WG it self is the same as 03-04, but instead of having a constant air supply like 03-04 it gets its air from an electronically controlled solenoid. (how we get 28-32psi from a 22psi WG). So if you take the solenoid out of the picture you can control the WG with an adjustable elbow and get more (or less) boost...
