04.5 waste gate with tst

[jeremy judge]

if I hook up the waste gate like it shows in the instuctions will it make the boost stay lower. i bought a used tst and it is harsh if you step into it I accidently hit almost 50 pounds of boost. help

Yes, that will keep the boost to whatever you set it at with the adjustable elbow. You can actually just put a boost elbow in the hose coming from the turbo and unplug the electronic control on the turbo instead of running a tube all the way from the intake. The only bad thing about unplugging the control, is on some trucks, not all, it will set the check engine light, the way around that is to call Piers, the sell a little box with some type of resistor in it that plugs to the factory plug and keeps the ecm happy. You MUST unplug this plug for this to work properly or the ecm will close this boost signal port and your elbow will be useless.

Hook the boost elbow up the way TST instructions state. It has worked well on my 4. 5

If I do that can I put a tee in the line for my boost gage or do I need a separate line for each of them
