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.

 

Why do you want to run a boost line from the intake, if you want it to look clean I would say pull the turbo and tap the housing.

You could use a needle valve if you like instead of the 90*?
Yes its just restricting the flow.

 

I thought about it, but thats a lot more work... Also if I tap the housing there could be warranty issues, where with the line from the intake the dealership doesn't care.

I hadn't considered a needle valve.

 

Ahh, I C
Hadn't thought about the warranty end of it (I have always been my own) but in that case you better not tap the housing.
