I think it is more of a matter of what it is you are talking about? Alot of parts have different names depending on what part of the world you are from....Can you describe what it is that you are wanting to adjust?

Could he be talking about the boost annihilator that is supposed to override the factory cap on the boost that the turbo generates?
