Got my turbo installed... question about the wastegate setting... please read
Hey guys!
I installed the GReddy turbo for my Civic EX and it says that the wastegate is set to 5.5 psi. When I was "having fun" (but not too bad... its brand new...) I noticed my boost gauge read 6 psi, and then tonight it hit 7 psi. Whats up? I haven't touched the wastegate at all because I don't know how to adjust it... yet. So how do I adjust it and what gives with the high boost reading?
I don't have an intercooler either.
Thanks!

just keep an eye on the boost gauge, let off if it goes over 6 psi without intercooler
