I quickly loaded 5.08 with POD onto my 2004. I set the Sw to 2 with timing and trq to default. I can definitely feel a difference down low and throughout the mid to high. I would like to know will the Smarty change the boost pressure. I still only see the stock level of 23-24 psi. I know the wastegate is manual and not electronic. Some guys must run a boost fooler as well ?

Can someone tell me what the difference is between 5.08 and 5.09 ?

 

5.09 is suppose to correct TQ2&4 reversal with 5.08 but didn't but did gain smoother running for most of us. That's it. Boost with be a tad higher but you'll have to push it. I see 4psi high then stock at WOT.

 

Hmm interesting, i see some guys getting like 30-38 psi with just a smarty. Not that i care but just curious. Mine still is only 1-2 psi higher if that on sw 1,2 or 3. It must have something to do with the way the wastgate is actuated. Mind you i see yours is an 06.

 

I believe you need an adjustable boost elbow.

 

I think you are right 055055.9... 03/04 have a manual wastegate that opens at a preset pressure, programming can't change that. The boost elbow is the answer.

 

Boost elbow ? Brand, make, where to buy ? What will i gain ?

 

Can buy them on ebay. Here's one now....

If you don't want to bid for one just contact the seller and he will sell at around $20. That's how I got mine.

Does anyone have a pic of where the bleed orifice is drilled on the 1/8 brass barbed fitting is ? What size is this hole ? I might just make one. Anyone ?
