[quote author=fitzer link=board=7;threadid=9474;start=0#90784 date=1042246156]<br>Ok, now you've got my interest. Are there real benefits to doing this? I'm going to assume holding it open will give max boost. And did I not read somewhere that more boost screws up the ecm somehow? Does this lower life expectancy on turbo, or related parts? How much power can a guy realize? Even if it's minimal, the cost would definately be right! I WANT MORE INFO!!!!! Even a website would be great. Thanks a bunch.<br>[/quote]<br>This actually holds it closed to allow more boost to be built.<br>The only guys that need to do this are the ones with auto transmissions I believe 01 and later. The wastegate is hardlined so you can't use a boost elbow. If you aren't running some sort of box then you will set overboost codes. With a box, it lies to the ecm so no codes are set.<br>I currently use a j hook and spring from TST. It bolts on and is way nicer than the turnbuckle/ spring combo I had. Mine builds 32# max boost with this combo.<br>
