Installing Edge EZ

[jlwelding]

I had a EZ about 5 years ago and it came with a boost elbow, the new Edge I just bought doesn't come with one. So should I install it or is there a reason to not run the boost elbow.
Thanks

I removed the boost elbow that came with my EZ and installed an adjustable one.  Stock boost was 18psi, with EZ supplied boost elbow 24psi. with adjustable elbow 30psi; a little more power.

I got ya, so go ahead and install my old boost elbow. I wonder why they stopped including it?

??? Weird... I thought it was part of the package? The Edge boost elbow is well rather good and bad. It will provide boost to about 35 PSI but not adjustable. The cheap adjustable brass elbows don't work too great either very hard to get the right pressure limit barely twist 1/16 a turn could be 10 PSI difference. Now some here did a wastegate spring and adjust spring pressure till the drive pressure blows the waste gate open. A few of us found adjustable wastegate regulators that is hook in the waste pressure hose. this is not what I got but I got a China made that was $7 or so. The one below is about GBP 12.95 Approximately US $17.67.

This is what I run. Its like 10x the price of what mike posted however.. Its been foolproof for me, hardest part was figuring out where to mount it. Its actually relatively big, and finding a spot for it was futile for me. I made a bracket and put it on the screw that attaches the knee bolster to the metal frame. I have mine completely shut right now but when I'm pulling I think drive pressure is blowing the wastegate open. I'm also in the above 35 psi area that puts an HX35 out of its map, so new turbo is in the future when I scrape up some money.
