slide it forward and adjust the star wheel to match. if you do too much on the starwheel then it won't do you any good.

no. transmissions are all different but you should be able to slide it forward without any issues. if you take it out, you might slip a little and don't do more than 30 pounds of boost without doing the heads

well actually, I'm having issues with my wastegate as well. it's not working until overdrive either. I tore into it last night but couldn't get it off and the rain drove me away. maybe i'll try tonight. I'll let you know how hard that screw is
