I made one for mine. Only took a few minutes

 

does the extra bit of boost make any diff?

 

its just with the smarty on 8 and the ts all the way up i hit 20 FAST and it opens and thats it....

 

Options:
Hardware store and a turnbuckle (you have to buy two so you can have the proper hooks at each end) and about 15 minutes of work to install it. You'll be hitting 30+psi quick. Danger: you may overspeed your turbo. Cost: less than 5 bucks.

J-Hook is available through Bully Dog or TST products. 15 minute install. This has a spring that still allows the wastegate to work, just later. You'll hit real close to 30psi maybe even over with enough fuel. Safer for the turbo as it keeps it inside of its efficiency range.

Type jhook into the search field above you'll find pics, etc...

Will you notice it? Yes you will. Once she gets above 25psi you will notice the difference. Is it worth it? Yes!

To let you know I had the turnbuckle but my poor turbo was screaming so went to the j-hook and have been happy ever since. I still need more turbo than what I have, but it works for what I do with the truck.

 

well i dont get hot, its just when it hits 20 thats it, it pulls the same al the way. just thought if i could get it around 30 it would be alot better....
