Default Deltagate wastegate question

I thought I heard that there was a way to adjust the boost by about 2psi by adjusting a bolt or something on the outside of the wastegate. Is this true? If so, what bolt, etc. is supposed to be adjusted and how should it be adjusted to lower psi?

I posted something similar a month ago. Loosen the bolt on the end. Turn the allen key screw in for more boost, out for less. Then tighten the bolt again. Have fun. Its on the middle of the polished end...you cant miss it.

and just to let you know... just because you try to adjust it to make more boost... it doesnt mean youll get the exact amount of boost you want. on 7lb spring deltagates... ive seen most people hit 6lbs at the most.

mine likes to boost around 8-9psi depending on the weather. I want to lower it some and use a boost controller to raise it later on.
