yeah fuel adjustments will change boost now, with a k24 i could get almost 30 psi like that, i wouldn't run that boost tho it takes alot of fuel and smoke, but i was young and dumb and liked playing with my car at the time.  but i;m still young haha i just learned from a mistake.

Heeheee
I sawz that pic before all of yous did!

I JB'd mine. I did exactly what NoSurrenderAG did except i used the orig. parts.
I used anti-sieze for sealant incase i run into issues with needing a waste gate so i can just break the JB out of it later.

open the LDA cover and remove the boost pin (attached to the black rubber diaphram) and turn the starwheel i think clockwise for more travel.  (or is it counter-clockwise?  :lol:)

i put anti seize on the LDA bolts to make it easier to take off in the winter, and in general.  plus i found that the aluminum was starting to corrode a bit. much like it does in the injector holes.
