Just wondering if anybody in alberta had a Boost Elbow for sale for a 2004 3500 auto?

Thanks

 

I'll keep my eyes open.. With the stock turbo you have its still mechanical WG correct? Should be able to find one around here..

 

Correct. I just wnt one to up the boost and lower the EGT's.

 

Gotcha. I might be able to scrounge one up.. Or give PEAKa call and talk to Harry. They aren't that expensive and could be here overnight..

 

GreyTD (Tony) recently needed a boost elbow also & had trouble finding one locally. He ended up ordering one from Source Automotive in Oregon.

I would try calling all the locals before ordering.. DPS, Big Dog, Unlimited Performance, etc...

There is not much to them, could try purchasing the brass elbow at Acklands or something, drill & tap for a set screw...

Boy did i ever get luck today.
I ordered a edge chip for my uncles 2002 Dodge 6 speed and the **** boost elbow was in with his chip.
So i put it in my pocket and headed to the shop that does all my work and he through it in.
EGT's are about 350f cooler.

Thanks again Guys

 

So what about your uncle? Now he has EGT trouble too...

 

I thought the Standard tranny turbos did not need them......

 

The boost elbow made a night and day difference on my stick truck. They are needed.

Really.....will i guess i will have to get him one.

 

For sure.. You need a boost elbow with any power upgrade to get the full benefit.

 

Its the 01-02's autos that don't use the elbow, all the manuals do.

 

Just put a set of vise grip on the hose coming off the compressor into the wastegate. That will keep the wastegate closed. I just put a plug on my compressor boost port. My truck doesn't make enough boost to hurt anything.

 

I will be looking for one, thanks for the info guys..
