Forget the blow-off valve. They won't work on a diesel because there's no throttle valve to close and cause a pressure spike in the manifold.

If you want blow-off valve noises, I think you bought the wrong vehicle...

ohk,,, it was only going to be for a joke,,, what about the boost gage then?

joke alright! only no one was laughing:p

tee into the waste gate hose for the boost gauge its the easiest way. and for upping the boost, unless you get a boost compensation box and and upgraded ECU and mods, then you wont be able to up it to much. 1-2psi depending.
