I say dont waste your time going with the adj boost elbow, I did that and feel the benefit outweighs the risk!

No kaboom yet and over 20k hitting that spike pretty often, and seeing close to that almost every day. Id say I hit 40psi on a daily basis when I punch it! Which is on a daily basis! yes its the 305/554 your talking about!

And i hope it goes Kaboom, which I doubt it will if it hasnt made any sign of it yet!

I could use an excuse to get a bigger turbo!

i have no idea how you can hit 40 psi everyday with the 555 versoin turbo. i hit 42 maybe three times in about two days and on the third day it was toasted! (but as you said before though it does give you a great reason to upgrade, and the old lady won't get as mad )

I had the boost elbow that came with the EZ in for awhile, and with the EZ on 40hp setting and the Van Aaken C3.2 set on the 130hp setting I could hit a little over 45psi on the stocker. Pulling hills, EZ on 70hp, C3.2 on 70hp (where I usually keep it at) I could hold boost at 40psi very easily. I can say this though, boost pressures over 40 made the turbo sound weird, almost inaudible, I doubt she could take much more. I didn't play like this very long till i put the stock boost elbow back in. Even with the stock elbow I can hit a tich over 35psi, and hold 30psi fairly easily.
