Lengthen the rod so that you need to pull it about 1/8" to connect the puck lever. This will give you minimum boost level. Take the car out, go to wot and see how many pounds of boost you're getting. To increase boost, shorten the rod one turn at a time. The rule of thumb is one pound of boost per one full turn of the rod. This is only an approximation, so let the boost gauge be your guide. I'm assuming you have an aftermarket boost gauge and are not using the useless oem dash gauge.
