Default Star wheel

how far can you turn the star wheel down in the pump will it stop once its all the way down? also does it give much power compared to the increas in smoke?

IDK it gives you some more low end smoke and maybe a little power but it results in slower turbo spool. Its really not hard to adjust and can be better used with an aftermarket fuel pin to fine tune. Adjust it, if you dont like it put it back where it was or play around with it some
