It should be, "you WILL burn a few knuckles on the turbo in the process."

To increase boost, turn it CW, higher spring tension means more air PSI to compress the spring before opening. You NEED a boost gauge before adjusting boost. It's impossible to adjust it by "feel" without breaking something.

I don't know about others, but my KKK turbo is really bad about boost creep. Under load above 3500rpm, it will creep up about 4psi no matter my base setting. I think the A/R is just a little too small for a 3L engine.

I dream of a day, when I can have twin Garrett VNT-15's on a 4BT Cummins under the hood.
...Does anybody want to sponsor me?
