yea you just us a allen wrench to adjust the set screw in or out. mine said it came preset for maximum boost. very easy install, i did have to take the intake off to make it easier to access the elbow.

if you dont run a fooler you will get a overboost code in the computer.

Like Rollin said it's pretty easy to install. Think I had to loosen the intake hose for clearance during R&R.

Did you replace the hose clamp on the elbow, or did the hose just pull off? Thats a funky looking clamp thats on there now....

should have come with a new 1/2" hose clamp. 10 min install = hours of fun and you do need the boost fooler.

I made my own with an 1/8" 90 degree elbow and a hose barb from NAPA. Then I drilled a pilot hole ( using the 1/8" NPT side for a guide ) then turned it over and drilled to 17/64 and tapped for a 5/16-24 set screw. Works like a charm and only had less than 4 bucks in it!

I was able to pull the hose off with the original clamp still installed.
