My 85 245 Ti runs well, 245K, 200 mi per tank. I installed a 15# VDO Boost gage that's how I know I am getting 6# boost. I have the dawes device check valve and 90 degree brass elbow with a .045" drilled into the side for bleed off. Today I shortened the wastegate rod 2.5 ful turns. I did not feel a difference and the boost gage showed 6#. I would like to install the DD but I am not sure I am correct with the Bleed orfice .045" ? Or should I go the MVP method electronicly? Thanks ..
