Ok, I'll have to play around with it sometime in my spare time, lol. Whats the reasoning for screwing it all the way out first?

Gotcha, I'll see once I play around with it. Still haven't hooked up to anything yet to see what she will boost under a load. Hopefully 12-13psi. I get off topic so easily, lol.

Lots of Banks thermocouples were in the down pipe after the turbo.

After the turbo, 850 is about equal to 1150 pre turbo in the exhaust manifolds.

Thermocouple location is important when you talk EGT temperatures.

I adjusted mine by 1/2 turn increments.
The external screw is not nearly as sensitive as the internal screw is.

You going to the Idaho Diesel Dyno Day?
