Default turbosmart mbc : how do i know where to set it?

I have a z6 on 8lbs and its tuned up to 12 so i figured i'll turn it up to 10 for now. I have a turbosmart mbc and I was wondering how the hell do i know what it's set at? Do i just screw it all the way negative and do a pull and watch the gauge or what? Seems like a not so great way of doing it...

Set it all the way to the base, then 4 clicks plus. Usually a turbosmart is 4 clicks or so per lb but coming off the base pressure, the first few clicks are a bit more sometimes.


And if you use short vacuum lines, you will have no problems with spiking and T/S is definately the best I have ever used. If I have it to do all over again, I would have never gone to an electric. The TurboSmarts just work to well.
