Default More boost

I'm wanting to get more boost out of my turbo. With the Adrenaline I've touched 30psi but I can't hold constant boost pressure over 20psi. Is the Edge boost elbow a decent investment or can I adjust the wastegate on a stock HX35?

You can adjust it, be careful you don't go over 40lbs. Otherwise you'll blow a head gasket.

You need a better turbo!
You can run the crap out f the hx-35 but the truth is if you torture it too much! It will die!
Anything more then 30 psi is bad!
If you want more reseach the j-hook! Simple fast! And works.

I killed my hy-35 hitting it to 35+ all the time! I scortched the shaft on it. It was a sexy blue color where the bearing were, and bent the backplat ( into a nice arch)
And wouldn't spin worth crap!

It had no excessive shaft play! Just torched it! I never ran it over 1350for more then a few seconds! And always cooled to 325 degrees before shut down!
With my new turbo I can barley get to 1300 trying! And can hit 42 psi no problem! No worries! No looking back

Just my 50 cents!

I'm not looking to get insane pressure, mid 20s would be nice. How hard is it to adjust and what all do I need to do to adjust it?

Does the Edge boost elbow have a smaller opening than the stock elbow?
