Is this good boost?!
HAHha... I got my gauges put in finally.. Oh and I got my truck back from service... Still ran like poopoo but it boosted.. So me and my buddy decided, lets throw the stock elbow on.. Well when I getting ready to remove the Power Elbow, I noticed that the driver side of the plate under the bend was not sealed.. I could see the o-ring and part of the valve clear as day! It wasn't machine right I reckon.. So I threw the stock on and bam, instant suck you into the seat feeling was back!
So tonight after gauges went in I had some fun.. I peg'd 32lbs boost in 0-90MPH with 1125* EGT (Pre Turbo).. Tranny runs around 130-140* and 150-165* under heavy boost..
Ill get photos up soon!

I am.. Dfuser is calling Aaron at Intakeelbow.com tomorrow to find out what happen and get me a replacement.. I'll throw it back on.. I'm also going to get an SCT Livewire now 
I know, CrAZY! But I talked to my service manager and he said as long as I put the factory program back in and removed it prior to coming into the shop for service he would not hold it against me
He sells bullydog and recommends to folks and tells them he won't hassle them on Ford Warranty with the bully dog as long as they unplug it and take it out of the truck before they show up.. So I told him since I don't like bully dog would he cover me if I went with SCT.. Then we got into a big hour long talk about it and now he is interested in SCT.. He wants me to bring my truck by when I get it so he can see it.. He's always used bully dog, but when I mentioned the ability of custom tunes he was highly interested
I recommended him to this site lol..

I have never had a problem with bully dog and I've had it on my truck since I've had a little over 3k on the odometer and it now has alot more(getting close to 70k) and I've only had it a little over a year.

True..I trust Rick and the guys tho.. They hooked me up today and wrote mine off under 36k mi warranty.. Grant it that ended like 3 months ago but because my ODO says 30k.. They took care of it..
But I know if I got SCT they won't hurt me over it..

My son, and my nephew will try their best to pick-up where you had to leave off. Nephew will be there in a few short months. My son is signing at 17; finishing high school; going to boot and spec school, and then we'll see what's next. He'll be 17 on Aug. 12th. God be with you. God be with my son and nephew. God be with us all.
