Nothing worse than haveing different knobs! Compare it to my old Turbonetics controller. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/CIMG0780.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/CIMG0780.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/CIMG0781.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/CIMG0781.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/CIMG0783.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/CIMG0783.JPG) Clockwise is supposed to increase boost not decrease it! This would explain why I was overboosting so bad Sunday at the track. Thank God for boost cut! ---

Maybe it is in fact + to increase restriction or - to decrease. bought it new from summit racing…yes it came with instructions. all it said was turn low stage dial out three full turns and high stage out two full turns. Then dial in to your designated boost from there using a boost gauge. Pretty shitty directions. Its pretty hard to monitor your boost gauge at the track…almost need a copilot. ---
