Boost Elbow and Module???

Boost Elbow and Module??? Are we paying too much??

Be patient and follow me on this.

I have a boost elbow and I can get 28lbs of boost.

I do not have a boost module.

Other than eliminateing setting a code in the ECM of over boost does the boost module do anything else?

Are we paying a few hundred bucks just to eliminate a code in the ECM?

YUP

The Boost Fooler not only prevents a error code from being set but fools the ECM that it has not achieved max boost yet and the pump continues to deliver fuel.



But you need to have more turbo drive pressure to get higher boost than you get from a engine that is fueled with a EZ or a PnP eg a set of injectors or analog box.

so what you're saying...

Brian,

SO you're saying that with the boost elbow alone, you will get higher boost, but the ECM will start to defuel at the predetermined boost value anyway, right? I borrowed an EZ with no boost elbow at a dyno run and went from 212hp/440torque to 244hp/597torque. Adding the boost elbow will allow the wastegate to stay closed until higher boost (more power), as well as fooling the ECM into keeping the fuel flowing (by not allowing the overboost code to set)...

Am I close?

Yep!

I think you pretty much "hit the nail on the head"!!...

almost

The boost orifice in a stock truck or one with out the Boost Fooler electronics will provide higher boost which will cool the combustion and manifolds down. But what happens is that the fuel gets cut back below what the factory power level is regardless what type of box you have on. Unless you have a electronic boost fooler of some kind.



I still am puzzeled about the HP readings you fellas are finding though. We get the same power out of the STD and Autos on our dyno. Are you reading the largest hp increase or the HP at a peak rpm



Maybe your are expereinceing this fuel cut back we are discussing.

Guys don't forget that higher boost will also help lower EGT"s.

Thanks Guys,



That is exactly what I needed to know. I guess I will have to get another boost module as I sold the last one I had when I ordered the DD Ultimate Power Module. I sent the Ultimate Power Module back for a refund because along with the DD stage I's it was too much for my stock transmission. One day I will get a transmission upgrade and then I will get another power box.



Brian,

There is a guy 23 miles from where I live and his name is Mike from Mike's custom truck building in Northwood ND 701-587-6335, he sells your BD products, I will be talking to him some day about transmission upgrades when cash flow is a little better for me. Could you give me some insight into his professionalism. I won't just take your word for him, I will check him out for myself but was just courious of your opinion of Mike.
