Adding Boost to a Bolt on Stock Programing Truck.

[NIsaacs]

If I were the OP, I would take the $100 for the fooler and elbow and put it towards at least an EZ, it comes with both. It also adds 65hp/120tq. That way you can get out of the way of the Charger

Isn’t the EZ a pressure box?

Personally I’m not a fan of modules on CR’s and would rather see the OP get some sort of tuner, preferably custom. The 03’s are a little more limited thou.

Every tuner that I know has the boost fooler integrated, so, Software.

It is/was a timing box and boost fooler. I ran an Edge Comp in the EZ mode, that is the pump was not tapped on my 2001.5 24V.

No such thing as a pressure box on a 2nd Gen so I’m not sure you can compare them, other than name.

Hard to bump rail pressure when you don’t have a common rail.

I agree, can tunes don't sit right with me; just plugging a box up and not knowing what values its changing or if its ideal for my setup would keep me up at night.

Pot calling the kettle black here given how much I have in my truck at or near stock power levels. But $550.00 for 65/180 seems like a pretty steep ratio. Right around the price range for custom tuning in the few quotes that I've gotten.

Essentially MM3, and HPTuners right?


Dually noted on the adjustable elbow and boost fooler. Thank you for the replies. I may just try the elbow first to see if it'll build boost without the fooler as an experiment. I'll share my findings.

 

[AH64ID]

Yes MM3 or HP. You can get a Smarty Touch too, but no point in paying for the box tunes unless you want to start there.

Myles, I will do you less than 1/2 that on the TST if you want it let me know we can figure it out. Currently its collecting dust on my shelf.... It has all that stuff built in and never gave me a lick of trouble on my 04. It does not modify the ECM so can go back to stock in 2s.

TST was good stuff.

And bcbender is a good guy, I bought stuff from him.

Making it hard to not impulse buy, I'll let you know.

 

[Ozymandias]

Go for it and make use of all the goodies that you already installed.

Boost elbow with and ATS fooler installed. I was hoping I'd hit 35psi but its hitting 30 pretty consistently. Boost comes on earlier in the power band.

Elbow is turned just about all the way in, I'll mess around with it later after I tackle some other loose ends. For now I'll just have to be more careful making turns in inclement weather from a full stop.
