Turbo Brake, good or bad idea?

I do a lot of heavy towing with my LMM and could use some help with tubo lag. I understand that the Turbobrake from Fleece Performance Eng. will add back pressure for braking but will it allow for better low end boost.

Hmm Im not fermiliar with that exact one but I have looked into the pac brake style engine brake. It goes inline with your exhaust and closes a flap to slow the truck down. It sounds like the brake you listed. In that case Id go for it! Definatly would help with a heavy load on a steep hill

yes it will help low end boost.

The turbo brake that fleece sales is also a boost controller so you can turn your boost up or down.

Also i have notice a fairly noticeable gain in throttle response by blocking my EGR off.

Turbo brake will help considerably.
