gillis over boost no change with turns

just installed gillis on my 88 tc. the straight vacuum port is going to vacuum tree, the 90 degree vacuum port is on wastegate actuator. i tried 6,5,3,2 and it push's to 15 and would go more if i didn't let off throttle. what else should i check?XXX

Figured it out... For some reason I need the valve backed out further then recommended. I'm at eleven turns out for 14psi

I had initially switched mine, too, and thought the further in I screwed it, the lower the boost would be.  I kept overboosting to 18psi.  Mine is fairly far backed out to get 12 psi, but each rotation in adds about 2 psi. ;)

I love the difference the gillis valve makes in driveability, though.  The on/off switch is much lower in the power band. :D
