Biggest turbo available for the incon kit?

Do you mean having preload on the wastegate? I don't have a boost controller. I just want to run the stock 5 psi (like it used to) but the boost is leveling off at 5 for a split second and then spiking way higher.

Yep, use the adjusting nut on the actuator to add or reduce preload until each actuator rod just starts to move when the MC gage reads 5psi....make sure you start with the rods in a full closed position.

I've had the k-member lowered twice now adjusting everything. The actuators are perfectly set and the vaccum hoses are run nicely. I don't f'ing get it.
The problem is that I don't have a small controllalble 5+ psi airsource for testing, or even shop air. This sucks. I guess I'll have to bum someone's air to get this figured out. Luckily if one's bad, a buddy close by has a pair. $

I don't own a mityvac,
The fact that it spikes above 5 # means that the wastegate(s) aren't opening to bypass the extra.
It was running perfect @ 5 psi before I had to take the turbos off. More searching.
