If a guy were doing a fresh install of an ATS gated turbo (like the factory unit) on a stock N/A engine, how much did ATS say to turn the fuel screw? ATS doesn't have any info about IDI turbos on their site, so I thought someone here might have the instructions, or just know what it said.
Thanks

Ok, just found the Banks info for their sidewinder. They say 86 down uses 1/4 turn (1 1/2 flats), and 87 up uses 1/6 turn (one flat). These numbers are their certified emission numbers. Are the ATS numbers the same, I would think so, but it'd be nice to know.

Mine is maxxed completely out at the moment, at low rpm with no boost if i give it too much throttle it rolls coal but once the boost passes 5 psi i can floor it and the boost will jump to around 10 and then im smoke free all the way to 15 psi of boost were i max at, i need more fuel

I have the factory ATS instructions sitting at home, but like others have said, about two flatts.

I went 1 1/2 flats, seems to be a decent balance between smoke/haze and power. It was really flat power-wise after about 1/2 throttle, now it feels like it's actually doing something. We'll see how it goes, he's gonna take it home like that.
