Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Adjustable Turbo Elbow

[Wyomingcowboy]

I bought an adjustable elbow from a guy in Ogden off of e-bay a year ago. He told me it was adjusted all the way out so I would see 35 psi of boost. I am only getting 19 while climbing hills loaded, and ONCE saw 20 for a brief moment. Which way is the little set screw supposed to be turned in order for me to achieve max boost from my stock turbo. I don't necessarily want/need to see 35, but the original stock of 25-30 would be nice.

Thanks guys

with out a lot more fuel you wont really see 35lbs. I would asume turning it in to "tighten" the screw would close off the port.

tighten the set screw or turn clockwise. that should increase boost. I think you should see high 20's at least maybe not 35

I used to get 39psi out of my HX35 with teh stock boost elbow... but that was after adding a lot of fuel, exhaust and intake. I never saw above 20 in stock trim.

With a TST/Superchip stack and 100 hp sticks I could hit 47lbs on my 50lbs gauge. EGT would hit 1500 before I'd get to 100mph... . poor turbo.
