Yea definitely don't touch it, increasing boost without properly tuning the car isn't gonna do it any favors.

I agree with this...... messing with your boost without properly mapping the car is risky at best, especially on a WRX engine? Also manual boost controllers are usually inaccurate and unreliable!

However to answer your question, I would imagine anti clockwise will reduce the restriction in the vac pipe and thus bleed more boost away from the actuator, presuming its a standard thread. Obviously if you have a boost gauge you will be able to monitor the difference. If you have to turn it I would suggest no more then 1/8th of a turn at a time and see how that responds..........don't say we didn't warn you tho
