IIRC th hp is right around 190 as far as boost its making around 7-8 psi you can bump it up to 12 max i dont think i would my personal max would be 10 and once you get the pyro installed you can turn the fuel up on the side of the ip there is a triangular plate if you take that off there may be an allen head behind there if not you have to turn the motor over until it comes into view.your probably going to need a dental mirror to see it.only turn it i flat at a time a small adjustment makes a big difference.adjusting the turbo is done with the actuator rod on the side of the turbo iirc you shorten the rod for more boost but dont let the rod spin or you will tear the diaphram

Turbo is done with the actuator rod pull the clevis off and run a tap threw it the threads are staked at 7-8 psi. hold the rod with vice grip while you take it off that will ensure the rod don't spin and you won't tear the diaphram then put the clevis on and it will thread on by hand shorter=more boost longer=less boost.

a side note also if the actuator rod is still in the stock position and never been turned, then some penetrating lube will help it to turn a littler easier for ya that way it wont be as much of a fight to keep it from tearin your diaphram

ok gents Bryce and I are getting there. gauges are here and install was about to start. but as we were inspecting positions for the EGT sensor( decided drivers side exhaust manafold )we discovered a crack. Now in the market for a manifold. Who's got one laying around they have no use for? Checking junk yards in the morning.
We did remove the muffler and just went with straight pipes. Sound isn't too bad and does feel like it upped the power a bit.
Mike
