HI all. after performing the BOV disable mod, and turning the max fuel screw up 1 turn, I still am only at 10 PSI of boost. :?

What went wrong?, can anyone give me advice or help?

you need to adjust your wastegate, which turbo do you have?

I'VE GOT A k-14 old style wastegate.

How do you adjust it? I'm not quite sure.

ok u need a deep well 10mm, use that to loosen the lock nut on the top of the wastegate can, then u need a 3mm allen wrench to adjust the stud on the wastegate

i dunno haha i think turning it clock wise makes the boost higher, u gotta experiment with it anyway until u get the boost u want. its not like ur engine is going to explode if you go above the boost level u want once or twice.

Ive got a k14 on my AAZ and i first adjusted my wastegate like that, i was unhappy with the results though, all it does is stop the waste gate opening fully. I found i had boost creep and it felt flat at top end. I cut the metal line to the waste gate and installed a bleed valve. i found this works better with the kkk style of wastegate!
Just my 2p

I got mine all adjusted last night, have 20 PSI of boost now!! feels good at top end, still might dial it back down to 15, cause i don;t have any aftermarket studs on my car.
