There should be a small hole in the elbow that is preset somehow to release pressure at a preset psi. Without this hole it would have no affect on your boost capabilities. On my elbow from Edge it leaks pressure off starting at 5psi. I don't pretend to understand how it works, but this is what keeps the waste gate from opening.

There were instructions on making your own elbow for under $10 from the hardware store here http://dodgeram.org/ram.html but they appear to be gone. It was really easy.
Personally I just plug the wastegate line totally.
