I use shims for the baseline adjustment (minimum boost) and the cockpit
adjustable wastegate valve for the high boost...Never have to get out of
the car to adjust. Dynamically adjustable boost is a wonderful asset.

ie: high boost straight away, low boost, low traction turn up front. Close
the valve (you will still see extra boost until you let off the throttle).
Let off throttle once, back on and it will be low boost-perfect for
traction on this turn.
