Note: Be sure the hoses are not bent or pinched, a pinched hose will result in a maximum boost pressure of 7.5 PSI. 

Step 4: Adjust the OAMBC
  1. Use a boost gauge or a OBDII scan tool to monitor boost pressure.
  2. Turn knob on OAMBC fully clockwise until valve is fully closed.
    In the fully closed position the turbo will make approximately 7.5 PSI of boost pressure.
  3. Increase boost pressure incrementally by opening knob slightly and run car to monitor boost pressure.
  4. Continue making small adjustments until desired boost pressure is reached.
  5. WARNING:  Running excessive boost will damage your engine.
