Default Boost Fooler Question

Hey guys, I was looking at the quadzilla boost fooler for a cheap upgrade, what do you about them. And if I were to get it, would I be able to use it with my bullydog outlook monitor? Does the fooler hook up to the same place? Any insight would be appreciated. Oh and one of my other questions on a diff thread never got answered, whats the deal with using a gooseneck on a lifted truck?

fooler works fine with the outlook, but the outlook displays the fooled number so you dont know your actual boost. I was about to buy a couple of extra gauges (including boost) last week, but something came up and now I'm no longer in the position.

Well I have heard people talking that you can not use a gooseneck with a truck that is lifted 4+", thats what i am wondering about. Does the lift just make it more difficult or does it not work at all, ie it will cause damage cosmetically to the truck.

From what the specs state, the fooler only raises the boost a few, so will the boost reading being wrong be that big of a deal, or is the fooler even worth getting?

i had a 01 2500 that was lifted running 40's and i used to pull a gooseneck... the only problem i had was the neck wouldnt adjust for the hight of the truck...... so the front rode a little high but it towed fine

Without the fooler, the outlook shows around 31psi if I remember correctly.With the fooler installed, it shows a MAX of 23psi.I think it comes in handy whena new turbo is put it because it wont let the computer get maxed out, howeverall the stock crap could get taken out with a new turbo. I was wondering about that, maybeDrew or another pro can answer that question.
Q:Since the stock turbo wastegate is electronically actuated, what happens to all the electronics when you get an aftermarket turbo?
