what does the j hook do in the auto tranny? bd makes it and it says it help to get more boost but it $50 for a little piece..would it be better if i put the boost elbow on or the j hook does any body have one of these?

 

It holds the wastegate closed longer for more boost. Can't use a boost elbow on your turbo as it has a hard line. Save yourself some bucks, go to the hardware store and purchase a turnbuckle and assortment of hooks for it ('bout $5 bucks if an expensive hardware store).

Do a search on here for "turnbuckle" and you'll get plenty of pics and such to understand it better.

 

tst makes one for 25 bucks im looking in to one my self here is a website:

I have one like the TST and it works great! I get 32# with my RV275's.

 

What kind of affect does the turnbuckle have on EGTs when towing? Is it better or worse for EGTs. Thanks in advance

 

It should help with lowering EGT's.

 

ok well thanks for the tips...so does an automatic boost as much as a 6spd or is it different made and boosts less

 

An automatic will keep boost up, a manual truck will drop boost at every shift.

 

i just ordered my tst.

 

i got one. makes 30-35 psi with my mods...actually get bark if ya let off at full boost. its crazy. shouldve done it long ago. for 25 bucks its a deal. buy it dont build it. kinda a tuff install at first but if ya get it pos right is slips right on
