quick tuner question

i recently bought an edge evolution tuner
it came with the the boost fooler wire for the map sensor and the boost tube for the waste gate

im now looking at the predator diablo tuner for less money
does it also come with the boost fooler and the boost tube

the edge evolution seems to work really good for me but the predator is almost 150 bucks less money

do you get what you pay for

the boost fooler is suppost to keep the computer from getting codes from the higher boost
and the boost tube keeps the waste gate from opening to give you higher boost witch in turn keeps the egts down

apparently

Well that booste tube sounds like a waste of money due to the fact that the waste gate is mechanical operated and is going to open no matter what, the spring in it controls that. And as far as the over booste problem there is a fitting that you can buy for like $14 bucks that goes in line with the map sensor and fools the computer for over booste.

unluckylow is right, why spend the extra money. Just place a Boost Relief Valve in line to the MAP sensor and also unplug the waste gate tube and plug the tube. Worked for me...

A. Granatelli doesn't make Predators. Granatelli is a marketing company, and they slap their name over the Diablo Sport name on the box. I caution you about companies selling "Granatelli Predators" because its clear they don't have in depth product knowledge if they can't sell them with the right name.
B. MotorHaven.com, one of the online store/sponsors here, will beat any advertised price on Diablo Sport Predators. Give them a call. Check out DPP as well, one of the other online stores here.
