Manual boost control?
Ok so I have been looking into useing a holset turbo on my truck. I know they boost to high at the factory setting and was wondering if a guy could work up a manual control for the waste gate to adjust the boost on the fly. If it doesn't seem doable then I guess I will look into modding the gate linkage to ge tthe boost down to a useable level.

Those seem to use the existing gate linkage. I am not sure if I can get the linkage to adjust down far enough to keep the boost down around 12-15 psi. Most the guys I know with the older Dodge trucks say that they boost about 17-21 psi factory set. There doesn't seem to be much adjustment left to get it down.
