Default HKS GT II wastegate

I have an HKS GT II wastegate knockoff (sad to say) and it has a 9lb spring in it but it is overboosting. It did not come with instructions and I am at a loss. I unscrewed the allen head screw a bit with no luck. I have tried to use a manual boost controller (ball & spring) a friend gave me but with no instructions as well. Has anyone had a problem before? Should I screw the allen head in? Any help would be great.

sounds like your using the wrong port on the wastegate.....wil a manual boost controller you want to use the port on the SIDE not the one on top....the one on the top is for when you use an electronic boost controller.
