Default Turbo B18B Valve Adjustment

I'm running a stock internal B18B setup pushing 7 psi, 230 whp. My motor is due for a valve adjustment. Seeing as it's stock internals I would assume I should use the stock valve adjustment specs but here is my question. Should I adjust them on the tighter side or the looser side of the allowances seeing as it's boosted. Thanks.

Stock parts should use stock specs. Keep it simple.

That's what I was thinking. However the second part of my question was: Should I adjust them on the looser end of the spec or the tighter end of the spec?

Ok so I take it that there is no real answer. It doesn't matter that much.

Nope, doesnt matter much. You can waste alot of time trying to split fractions here.
