lol thats why i asked i cant remeber the last few gtts ive had have had in car boost so i just turned the knob so wich way does the bleed valve need to go to increase boost?
That would be anti clockwise my friend to increase boost
Hasnt that black 5 you have bought got a external wastegate? if so depending on how it's piped up it could be closing it would increase boost. which ever way you turn it small steps.
yes it has a external waste gate hes a pic of the engine so wich way will the bleed valve go still the same? anti clock wise?

Right I've just had a good read of my boost controller instructions and it's confused me.Think your best off following James instructions but just make sure you take small steps as you never know how sensitive these things are.
can no 1 tell me some 1 must have a similar set up
If you're connected like this it's the other way around, the more you open the valve the less boost you'll have. But, it's all down to what you've connected to where.
You really need a boost controller to get the best out of that gate.
btw, the restrictor needs to be on the turbo side of the bleed valve
thanx for that pic well its conected like the pic above it was like it when i got it so what should i look for? pipe wise to tell were things go ive never had a set up like this gtt before all my previous gtts have ben normal in line actuators so am a novice on this external thing you mentioned a boost controller i looked them up on ebay do i need a electronic 1? and you mentioned a resitor? sorry to sound thick lol this whole set up is new to me ill have a look tomra and see what pipes go were

On your car mate you have to wind it in for more boost, out for less boost
thanx mate i only wana adjust it a little bit
restrictor, not resistor - something that basically blocks the pipe bar an ~1mm dia hole. You need one where the arrow points "vacuum hose". But not anywhere else. There may be one built into the bleed valve, and it may, or may not be on the right side of the pipe.
