this is for a 03 CTD HO 3500 with the power puck and a boost elbow only.....i have gotten so many different answers to this question when i asked that I am posting a poll. Do you really need one or not!


hopefully this will clear the air!

 

There like 20$ and 10 min of wiring just get it.

 

He's right go for it. Look in the classifieds.

 

i wouldn't spin that little hy any more than stock ...

if the power puck came with a boost elbow are you sure it's not doing a little boost fooling already ...

 

Jeremy at quad told me that most boxes do boost fooling these days. Heck he said that the MP-8 does BF. Seemed surprising to me. I have a gauge and he said if its gettin 39-43 psi of boost on your gauge your getting boost fooling. Dont know if that helps. it did me.

 

OK, 03-04 trucks are 100% completely different than 04.5-07 trucks. I know they look the same and sound the same but, they are NOT the same.

The 03-04 trucks have a different turbo and they cannot handle what the 600 trucks can.

You need a boost fooler if you are going to run an elbow. I would bet $1 you already have overboost codes in your truck right now. When the truck cuts fueling back because of it, its not like 1/2 power is gone, it just scales fueling back a lot at those levels. On a dyno you can see it a lot and on the street a little.

 

I didnt even notice that quad thanks for correctin me. I guess I should better check out the sig before I go runnin my mouth.

 

well there is no doubt that I have the code, but have not noticed any difference in power. runs very well IMO. If it cuts to 1/2 power you would really be able to tell , but i havent seen that!

 

Its not going to make it where you cannot drive it, but, it will cut fuel back especially up top where the boost is higher.

 

I was making right around 50psi before the fooler I was pulling my boat and went to pass a mobil home being transported when I pulled out and got on the side of it one of the lanes ended and I had someone coming quick so I mashed the pedal in 5th and got to 2900 rpm's when the engine started to seize up then shifted to 6th and pulled through. I had the boost fooler put on it no longer will do this and I make a little more boost

 

your say that I am actually losing some power on the topend because of the code for overboost. My truck will actually perform better than it already does when I get the fooler installed?

I cant imagine it doing better than it already does........ WHOOOOO!!!!!!!

 

where have you seen them for 20$?

 

My shop Wide Open but that is what they charged me not sure what they sell them for do you know what I mean?

 

well that makes a difference doesnt it!

 

If I remeber right they where 18$
