I did the same thing, though I just got the Turbo Master in. How far in did you adjust yours, and where did you set it?

I want to and will go Turbomaster when the funds allow for that particular upgrade. When you guys installed it what did you do with the red line, just leave it hang and plug it or snip it off shorter and then plug the leftover line?

I just used the suggested factory setting and this increased my boost pressure from 17 inches up to 22 inches. Could "tune" it a bit especially if used with boost fooler I suppose. Just plugged the red line with the ball furnished and tied up line so it is still there if needed sometime.

Been running the Big Head for about the last 8 years. Set it where they said and forgot it. That along with the Banks 1.0 exh housing and Banks WW makes for 32+psi regularly.

I have used Boostvalve Home when I had a turbo car and it worked well. Only lets the wastegate open when it reaches a preset value instead of opening gradually. Makes the spool up much quicker or at least it did on the Merkur XR4Ti
