Question Boost Actuator Adjustment

Dose anyone still mess with this adjustment? I heard about it over a year ago but never here anything else about it. Is there any improvement to performance and can you hurt anything if you go crazy on it, like truning it way up?

To adjust to boost actuator loosen the 2 bolts holding it to the blower, raise the actuator up until the lever comes off the stop, then lower the actuator back down until the actuator lever is just touching the stop, tighten the bolts back up, your done

Well, it does make your truck go into boost sooner at part throttle, but doesn't add any additional boost at WOT. Be advised your gas mileage will suffer (more boost=more gas)

What's a brother to do, we gotta mileage problem anyway.

Good question...I removed mine from my blower when I sent it to get ported so it wouldn't get snapped off during shipping. Thanks for the info!
