Smarty Boost psi???

04dodgedsl · 07-22-2008, 03:17 PM

I am running my smarty on #5, and only seeing about 28psi of boost. is this normal?? I thought it should be closer to 35 or 40... I got a quad boost fooler just to see if anything would change, and nothing. What kinda boost are you all seeing with your smarty on stock turbo??

May be a stupid question, but i tend to be good at those

How do you check for boost leak?? Also any particular brand to buy for the boost elbow, or are they all the same?

They look like an easy fitting to buy at a hardware store. Any specs on one?
