First install a probe and gauge to monitor EGTs. Then bump the pump up gradually by one flat (1/6) turn on the screw. Keep EGT's below 1150*F.

I thought he was wondering how to turn the fuel up. Monitoring EGT's is simply looking at the gauge so I doubt he was asking 'bout that.

yeah man haveing a turbo wont change where you put the probe in at... to test the EGTs on it you want to put a big load in the bed or pull a heavy trailer up a steep hill at full throttle to see how high the EGTs go... Thats the hottest your engine will get
