Hi guys i am kind of new to this and i heard afew guys talking about stacking and J hooks, boost foolers etc... I just installed a hypertech power programmer and i am wondering what other options are out there to combine w/ this programmer??

 

if i recall hypertech does both timing and fuel. Ti is a no no to stack two things that do timing. im not 100% sure of the boxes/programmers that do only fuel for 2nd gen trucks. i know an MP-8 works on the third gens. somebody with more info should chime in.

 

tst does fueling only I think and maybe redline also. Someone can correct me if I am wrong

 

Does anybody know where i can get a boost fooler to get a little more boost out of the stock turbo or is that a no no i do a lot of towing with it and am kind of concerned about egts i run it on level 3 has anybody had problems with high egts with hypertech no gauges yet but they in the plan for soon

 

BD is where I got my boost fooler from and looks like you need a fuel system upgrade and gauges real bad those should have been number one on the list

 

i got a boost fooler up for sale

 

a boost fooler really isnt going to do anything unless you get a boost elbow, or else you will just boost up to ~20 psi and then the waste gate is open all the way.

 

thanks where is a good place to get a boost elbow or is that something i can pick up at the local general store???

 

What do u guys run your boost elbows @ 25 30psi?? what is safe on a stock turbo???

 

you can get a boost elbow on ebay like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE...Q5fAccessories
or you can make your own.

max psi assuming you have a HX35 is about 35 psi. i just have the line going to my wastegate completely blocked off with the boost elbow and let the attitude monitor take care of limiting boost.

 

stupid question probably but how do i know what turbo i have i thought they were all the same stock is there something i should look for on the turbo???

 

tst is fueling only. no added timing.

 

How does the set screw boost elbow work? Is it just a screw to partially block off the pressure signal to the wastegate can?

The stock turbo for a standard is the hx35 and if you have a auto then it would be a hy35

 

basically it blocks off the air pressure going to the wastegate. the stock wastegate is good for about 20 psi. if you block it off so no air pressure is getting to it then the turbo will continue making boost. can be dangerous though as i said before max on a stock HX35 is about 35 psi but some guys have gone up to 40 with no problems.
