I think you could adjust the actuator some but then you will open up a can of worms with no gauges , then you get into octane to boost p.s.i. I would like to up my sidekick but with no gauges to know to add octane I run mine stock

Put an o2 sensor and a boost sensor on mine. It is a digital one and it reads absolute boost from sea level so at 5000 ft it reads -4 normally. gonna be weird to try and figure what boost i am running because don't most gauges read boost above ambient?

Sounds like it needs to be calibrated. Most boost references psi between the turbo and intake as a positive pressure. If you are starting at a -4 reference up to 2, I would say it's probably six. I'm no expert.
