Without a boost controller, how can i turn up the juice
I dont have a boost controller right now, and im running very low boost. It was set low when the motor was put in, and i want to bump it up alittle.
How can i manually do this from under the hood?
making sure its safe of course.

You'll either need to install a boost controller (even a manual one made out of an aquarium air valve) or put some kind of restriction in the air hose to the wastegate.

i recently had the motor checked by t&r racing in queens, and another place on long island that speciallizes in rotary. they both said that i have a strong motor, it runs smooth, compression is fine, etc..
but i have trouble getting the boost up past 5 or so.
i dont know if my cats clogged or something, maybe my wastegate is screwed up, i dont know. Btw, my timing is set alittle retarded, but i dont think that would keep the boost so low.
any ideas?

with a ported WG and stock cats I doubt it would go over 5. that just means the WG is doing it's jop. just get a manual boost controler. I bought one off ebay for $25.

Fix, then modify; don't modify to fix.

the turboXS is a great buy for the money. I would replace your cats, and you WILL see the boost go up. At least you got rid of the pre-cat and put in a DP

fix the cats! you can overwork/overheat the turbo by just cranking up the boost and then you can destroy all sorts of stuff. Like NZ said, fix it and buy a $40 MBC and crank your boost up to 9 or so
