Yep, just another thing to look at and worry about!

@stustrong put a T piece in his MAP sensor pipe and fed one off that, I believe. It isn't the most aggressive turbo in the world but you might get to see it bounce a bit!

Can the turbo be turned up with a boost controller

You're certainly a sucker for punishment, aren't you?!
According to Stu you can adjust the waste-gate actuator rod to give a bit more boost but given how close that head is to its limit I really wouldn't touch it unless you have lots of spare parts and time on your hands.

It's a question clearly bothering muts - he posted it after 2 am.
Just got back from the after work drinks. Good time to consider tweaking your turbo until the engine blows!

Adjusting the actuator rod is a poor way to adjust boost. You're better off buying a bleed off valve. But I wouldn't adjust boost without a gauge.

Get a gauge t peice into the map sensor line.
Underneath the motor undo the lock nuts on the wastegate and turn the rod tighten 1turn that's it anymore and itl over boost and cut fuel. Mine spiked over 20 and settled about 18 with an adjustable tuning box and huge intercooler and a decat.
