Very Very carefully, someone will post up how to do it here in a second, but just a 1/3 of a turn of the screw can melt your pistons if loaded up hill. I wouldn't do it unless you have a pyro.

But the gist of doing it is to take off the small triangle plate on the IP and make sure the 1st cylinder is TDC to have acess to the screw head and slowly turn it 1/6th of a turn (one flat of an allen wrench) and try it out.

1000 is as hot as you want for log periods 1200 is deadly if you run it for very long at that temp, I'm sure someone will come on and say even those are too hot, but you could call those the MAX"

Be sure to put your pyro pre turbo or else your reading wills be lower than what they are.

summit racing sells them along with any performance parts place. Just be sure to pony up the extra money and buy a name brand one, not some CHI JUNG LI (or any other chinese named one), because they are ones that got a bad rap and made people nervous about mounting pre turbo due to the fact they would sometimes break a tip and send it through the turbo.

well, as long as its not black smoking not much because it will be burning all of the fuel giving you more power and wil have less stain on the motgine, but as soon as it starts black smoking then you are wasting fuel

If you haven't already done so you might be interested in a good free flowing exhaust and fab up your own cold air kit

well, cut the soup bowl thing off of the air breather if it has it, then the next is up to your liking, I've seen some people use dryer vent, stove pipe, a or actually aftermarket air pipe stuff and then route it to the most open spot next to your rad in your grille.
