do i need a boost elbow?

ok, got a quick question....ive got a blue chip diesel power box (not the fms box, the one that goes from 1-135hp)..question is: The box consists of piercing the pump wire and hooking into the map sensor (boost fooler??)..it did NOT come with a boost elbow...the boost gauge is the only one i dont have, question is, am i being limited in boost w/o the elbow?? if so, where can i get one?

135 hp is pretty hot for not having a full complement of guages.

When I was running a HX35 and a comp I ran the turbo both ways with a boost elbow and with a straight fitting. Without the boost elbow my egts were hotter from the midrange on up. And running without a boost elbow is disappointing after having one in!

Peirs should have one in stock...
