If you have an internal wastegate, try bending the arm of the wastegate actuator. Or bend the mounting bracket of the actuator.

Boost controller can go up from the set boost, but not below.

You can bend the actuator arm, or depending on how the actuator is mounted, you can move it back and forth... it's kinda a guess and check kind of procedure.

So if i set the interna wastegate to 5psi and add a boost controller, then I can go up from there by using just the boost controller, right?
