[Vwdiesel] Adjusting turbo boost pressure

Now I have everything sorted out on my car, and I installed a boost
gauge. I only get 6 psi going uphill and over 3000 rpm, and I think
that's a bit low. How do I adjust the wastegate on the turbo to give
the correct boost? (and maybe a little more)

  Unless it's damaged or malfunctioning the boost range of that wastegate
is 10.2 + a pound or two.  There's not a lot of adjustment and on the
Garrett, there's none.  You most likely have a KKK.  You have to have
enough flow FIRST before you can have too much and need the wastegate.
Sounds like you need more fueling?  Of course restricted intake or
restrictive
exhaust will cause low boost too.
