looking at the turbo what do I adjust
where are all or any of these adjustments you mention I cant see any adjusting buttons in side on the dash

more directions to adjustments
trucks to slow it maybe turbo

You could try CRC injection into the turbo, to help it spool up faster.

a boost controller is your easiest way, but if you were expecting that a manufacture would put the ability to blow up your engine through "in cab adjustment" maybe you should not touch anything as you will most likely over-boost your turbo and destroy it and your engine as well.
Learn HEAPS about altering turbos boost levels hell just learn about how they work first, how to control boost PROPERLY and what side effects higher boost levels have on engines that were built and tested with certain turbos running certain boost levels.
Normally you do just "wind up the boost bro" without taking into consideration fuel supply, after turbo air cooling, exhaust gas flow, air intake flow, computers that understand increased intake air flow and the list goes on and on

Best bang for your buck is to remove your exhaust and bin then run a short pipe from your exhaust manifold to your inlet.This should double your power,seen it done on the internet so google it you may find a pic.

The local turbo guru reackon running half your normal impellers on the turbo to help spool up time and increase responsiveness. You unbolt the housing and pull off the fins with a pair of snips.
They usually have way too many fins for the area of the turbo so if anything it'll spin faster and make more boost!

oh yeah so you cut more grass with half the blades on your mower?
the turbo is a centrifugal air pump its largely governed speed wise by the back pressure from the exhaust the temp of the exhaust gas and the density of the air it has to pump on the intake side.
if you want to speed up your turbo spool,
open up the exhaust by removing restrictions/mufflers.
if you want your truck to go better?
take it to a diesel specialist so he can add some fuel in,check egts and timing

Class, best suggestion yet;-)

Also If you go watch Mighty car mods on you tube they can prove painting your brake calipers red = +25kW

One easy mod to get more flow through your turbo is to use 3m of garden hose, place one end in front of the turbo intake then run the hose through the firewall. Make sure it reaches the drivers seat headrest. Now when you come up to a hill take a deep breath (cold air is better) then blow into the hose really hard, try not to get dizzy, its a bit of a balancing act but it does work.

LMFAO - this works even better with 2 pieces of hose and a passenger

Add a leaf Blower, fo reel

These expiriments can go 1 of two ways. AWESOME, or OMFGSOOOBAD. Since fuel injection makes about everything easier, I’ll assume for now that your test vehicle is FI. The quality of computer your vehicke has is what will make or break this project. if it is an older/cheaper vehicle then it will probably have a closed loop immissions control system. this means that the computer will not adjust the amount of injected fuel when under forced induction(because it will measure fuel ammounts based solely off of the throttle possition sensor). thus your air/fuel mix will go EXTREMELY lean. and without the cooling effects of the fuel evaporationg, you will melt your cylinders from the inside out(you will likely experience excellent fuel efficiency until it blows though). If it is a newer car or has a higher performance computer, it will opperate in open-loop mode when it detects the lack of hydrocarbons in the exhaust stream. thus it will deviate GREATLY from the pre-programmed fuel ammounts and “learn” it’s new environment; giving you all the cooling and BOOM that your cylinders need.
I personally have a 6HP Craftsman leaf-blower mounted where my battery used to be(the battery is now 2 batteries and they’re in the trunk). The leaf-blower has an electric-start that is wired into a push-button on my dash. It works SO great. yeah, you go through head gaskets, catalytic converters and piston rings about twice as fast, but the power and torque increase is substantial and cost me about 4 hours of work and 450$

Off to bunning's I go!! I reckon I could fit a decent sized leaf blower under the hood of the 80! hahaha

if you did that engine would over heat
I am now running bigger turbo and water enjection
up hill power up temps average

So you worked through the night and 15ish hours later from asking about dash adjusted turbo you have a bigger turbo and water enjection?
