Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Help with a turbo boost question 95

[Garth]

Hey guys long time! Dropped my 01 ford off and went back to dodge!

I just got a 2/95 3500 auto. The thing make 30-35 PSI of boost and i want to lower it back to where it is safe and will last longer. I dont have a clue how to do that so can anyone help?

I do notice under the turbo a threaded rod going into a vacuum looking thing. Off that is a blue hose that goes nowhere! I hope that helps a bit... I hope to hear from someone! thanks! Garth

That would be the reason why it makes so much boost. There should be a port or nipple on the turbo compressor somewhere the other end of that hose connects to so the WG will function. Either that or somebody swapped the turbo with means of tapping for boost reference.

Ok... i see on the botton of the housing a screw in plug that does not look stock! should I remove that and put a fitting in it so I can put the hose on? That sounds too easy!

If you get a boost elbow and thread in where that plug is you will have the ability to tune your boost up or down to your liking. Thats what someone, did just replaced the OE nipple with a pipe plug.
