you put a wrench on the little nut thats on the actuator bar coming out of the wast gate going to the turbo and turn it left or right to gain or lose psi on mine each turn is 2 psi gained or droped but yours might be different then get in your truck and drive it and se if you gained or lost psi and then go from there if your lost it turn it the other way and if you gained it keep goin till your satisfied

is that the glow shift guage thing because if it is i would invest into a better guage i have some friends that bought emm cuz they were cheaper and seemed nice and a year later they have all switched to the same autometer pro comp guages im running and if you get 2 double pods and trim it a little bitt they will fit as a quad pod on your pillar and you cant tell its 2 different pods. butt i would deff switch brands man and then again i have had some people say gloshift is the best guage they ever had butt mmost people dont
