wastegate adjustment
I was just wondering if anyone adjusted their wastegate for the II sps series turbo. I think my turbo is set for around 40psi. I want to get it around 45psi-50psi. I cant hammer on it to much cause i was slipping the clutch but just on a smooth power run i was hitting 40-41 at WOT. Yes studs are on the way when i do my clutch. The turbo doesn't come with any paperwork so i wanted to see if yall had any ideas. If yes, how big of adjustments do you make? Also if it is a bolt, which way do you turn it? I couldn't imagine very big ones but hey who knows??? Thanks in advance.

there is a small allen head screw on the boost elbow (brass elbow with the blue hose attached too it), You tighten it too raise boost (restrict flow to wastegate(larger pressure drop)), and loosen too lower boost(less pressure drop). With mine it was about a 1/4 turn for 3 psi.
