i am still learning. how can i turn up my stock turbo on my 96 cummins. is there a adjusting screw or something?

You need a boost elbow. You may need to remove your turbo and drill/tap it to install one if it's set up like my '96 where the wastegate is controlled by a line coming all the way over from the intake side.



Unless you've turned up the fuel and running warm on EGTs there's not much to gain by increasing boost.

my truck is also a 96. the only mods so far are 4 inch exhaust,no cat,no muffler and bhaf. i just thought i could increase boost alittle without delivering more fuel. still learning though. i want to add a fuel plate but i think i better take care of a few maintence issues first before i increase horse power. right now i just want to optimize with what i have. is there a way i can play with my fuel pump without buying a plate from tst?

I would suggest a boost and pyrometer gauge and then you can slide your stock camplate and afc housing for a little more gidde up. Oo.

TST's kit comes with a new boost fitting. When I installed mine I went from 24 PSI to 32 along with the added fuel from the plate. Like they said though, get your gauges before you do anything.
