I'm installing this week. What's involved in raising boost? Do I just turn it one turn at a time a watch for knock? I have a Double pump installed and a new adj FPR is going on at the same time.
 
Screw the arm in and make it shorter to increase boost. Every turn is worth about 1 lb of boost. Don't forget you need to add more fuel to the tune before you raise it up.

How much boost are you running now? What chip?
 
Everything is stock right now. That was my question. What to do with the fuel as I raise the boost? Do I just keep increasing both a little at a time while waching the scanmaster ?
 
Will 43/44 lbs at idle line off be enough for 15#s I will be increasing boost 1lb at a time watching the knock.
 
What chip do you have in the car? We need to know that before you go any further. Bumping the fuel up via the regulator is old school and will have a negative effect on driveability after a point and MPG. Modern chips increase fuel at WOT by the injector duty cycle. Won't change driveability or gas mileage.
 
Just ordered a Turbo tweak chip for 93/94. No alky, stock inj and everything else stock.

The stock injectors are going to be the next thing you should upgrade. 60s and the TT chip work great. I just did this in a car and am amazed with the results. It was stock down to the airbox and factory chip. Read the instructions Eric sends you. All your question and more will be covered.
 
Yeah I spent about 1k on the car this month. I'm going to do the injectors in the next two months or so. I figure it's good to have a stock chip just in case and I'm sure I can always sell it if need be.
