Yes, but it is also dangerous without gauges to monitor boost and egt.

Mines plugged but I don't think you'll get anymore power without a boost fooler.

[/align]it my add a little, but it's mostly hard on the turbo because it keeps boosting when you let of the gas, some guys do it for the sound of the waste gate bloeing off. just like the other guy said you would want to get something to monitor your numbers

I know when I pull a big load my waste opens when shifting into 2nd. The first time it did it I thought the transmission flew a part. Scared the H$ll out of me.I would not do it in fear of blowing something off or up.
