I am not aware of any HKS twin turbo kit for the 87 RX-7. Does your car have a 13B-REW engine transplant?

How are you attempting to adjust the boost, and what is your goal?

People are not answering your post because it is not clear. See the guidance on bumps:

2. The maximum boost that the turbo currently produces is ____.

3. My Cartech kit components have the following markings:
