Max boost with Edge elbow on a 03 HO ?

[ECappleman]

I was seeing 22-24lb max.

After elbow install, I'm seeing about 32lb max at WOT.



Is this about normal? I don't want to damage the turbo.



P. S. These reading are on analog gauges.

Your numbers are both normal and safe. Enjoy the ride!

Leave the stock elbow in!



Ideally, you should have a 1:1 ratio between boost pressure and drive pressure.



Measure your drive pressure at 32 psi boost...



Anything more than about 25 psi on the HY35 is too much. More boost does not mean more power.

I know it sounds like the turbo is working harder. I have a stock air box and it pulls the filter monitor half way down.



I was ideally wanting about 26-27lb boost. I guess I will leave it stock or buy an adjustable elbow.

I run my EZ on level 4 and sometimes level 6 and see cooler EGT's without the elbow. You reach a point of shoving hot air in and get hotter air out.
