ok i have a question. When you install one of these things, how do you turn the boost down and how do you turn it up? Clockwise, counterclockwise what?



After I installed it i tried both versions to turn it down and neither worked. When i fully closed it, I got 11-12-12 and it kept rising.



When i opened it all the way i got 12-14-14 and it kept rising.



Thanks

Did you remove the pill from the line when you installed it?

yup, I did. But i don't get this though. I got 94 fd. I though all 94 and up have pills built in. How come i got pill in the line then?



Any thought on the controller ?

If the pills are built in you might have to drill them out.



Funny thing though, difference between highest possible and lowest possible was only 2 lbs? Seems something is wrong there. I think they advertise they can raise the boost 30 psi over stock

why does everybody list boost w/ 3 numbers? Mine either hits 6 light boost, or 12 w/ M2 ECU and stock turbos, DP, CB.



BTW, any suggestions for a high flow mid pipe w/cat so i can pass smog, and it's not too loud.

Vosko called it. Stock twins will run say 10psi on primary then dip to 8 psi at transition then up to 12 on secondaries.

Hence the numbers 10-8-12 boost.
