Ok thanks. Do you know about how many turns on the wastegate control arm it takes to go up one psi?

ATS and Hypermax both say 12 lb max, but mine has gone to 18 for short periods. The new wastegated kits claim they actually make peak power at 8 psi. They say more will actually slow them down (using power pumping those extra few pounds).

Ok thanks...
Im going to set it at 13-15, maybe do a little expiramenting to see how high I can get the boost at low rpms yet still have under 15 at 3000 rpm...
