Default Boost Elbow

Where is the boost elbow located at on my 03 cummins. I want to take it off to clean and blow it out for maintenance. It plugged up on me last year and I dont want it to happen again. Also, what is the best cleaning solution for these elbows. Thanks for the info.

It is on your compressor housing. The brass looking elbow in this pic with the hose on it. Remove hose, unscrew from housing. When you put it back on would be a good idea to use some teflon tape on the threads. Some kind of solvent will work, something like carb/throttle body cleaner should do the trick, then blow it out witha compressor.
