stock boost?
 

what is stock boost on 2005 trucks?

30 give or take a couple of PSI

would a boost elbow hurt or help my truck?

A boost elbow will push the stock turbo to high.
23-25 psi is stock add the elbow gets you 30- 35psi I had a elbow and read that some people were damaging thier turbos so I went back to stock and left it alone

42 psi on mine with the quad box. before you crank up the boost, make sure your intercooler doesnt have plastic core ends. mine is all alum, so I'm still good.
if you pop the turbo, good excuse for a super B

if you do pop yours I should be getting my aluminum one in very soo to replace the two plastic ones I poped. I replaced mine with a banks so I have no use for the stock one but I will be selling it to help with the $1500. I spent on the banks one... I would have just let the dealer install the newer revised one but I couldn't let my truck sit that long (3 weeks)!!! The intercooler is worth $640.00 from the dealer.

my truck has the aluminum cores also, so im not worried about that. im just looking for more power until i can afford the edge juice w/ attitude. any suggestions?

Stock boost here I've seen 35psi. Not sure why as it surprised me when it got this high. Maybe a right foot to blame. I hope my plastic intercooler holds up, if not getting one from dodge for free, let me tell you that for sure.:D
