I just got the greddy kit from a friend for my 93 hatch and i wanted to know how would i adjust the boost on the internal wastegate. Would I need to get a boost controller or do i just adjust the actuater rod?

You can raise the boost by adjusting the actuator arm, however it would be better to just get a boost controler. I think you can get the turbo xs manual controlers for under $100.

I know the kit is pre set at 5 pounds. How mutch HP do you think i will make with a bone stock d16z6 at 5 pounds. also how much do you think i can safely boost with a bone stock motor. (No injectors, fpr, no mods)

Get the fuel system before you start getting boost happy.

A boost controller manual or electronic. It depends on how much money you want to spend.

sounds about like me. luckily i upgraded injectors and fuel pump, because as soon as i got 7 i wanted more. im now sitting on 10 and am itching to turn it up.
