Question 24lbs of boost = ? horsepower and ? torque and another question...

so i just got my boost gauge installed. how much horsepower and torque equals 24lbs of boost?

Also. My full power screw is turned in the whole way.
i flipped my fuel pin
star wheel has 1/4 turn.

is there anymore adjustments i can do to this truck to get the boost higher than it is? still sorta weak for my likings. im used to a nissan that has over 560 horses to it.

Or should i ask how far can i turn my star wheel before stuff goes the way it shouldnt?

and does turning the smoke screw anymore gonna give me power or just smoke at idle

I would try grinding the fuel pin that will help some. If the collar is still on the fuel screw take that off and turn it all the way in. On my truck with the stock turbo I could hit over 30 pounds with my mods.

My guess is you're putting around 215-220 HP to the ground.

Next step would be injectors.
