to lower the boost you undo it, turn it anticlockwise. That eases the pressure on the spring which is holding the ball bearing/washer that stops the boost getting to the actuator

i used to run mine at 20.8psi, but it is high & no real benefit running that high with our small turbos so i would turn it down especially if you felt a miss
