turn it counter clock wise. that opens the gate up sooner(less boost) its takes a little playin around with it to dail it in . shoot for about 32ish. 42 is way too much.

if you put the elbow in you can set it all the way down into the 20's

no you will most likely gain power because your not heating the air anymore

the elbows come with a fuel plate if you ordered one. you can get them separate on the net for about 25
