Default i need some help with parental control

i inherited my dads modified supra with lots of upgrades, including aftermarket turbo, rebuilt top end, and other things. anyways... he told me that he had it "de tuned" and he wont tell me how to "re tune" it, so i can experience it to its full potential so if anyone has any idea on how to get it to its full potential please let me know
thanks,
adam

He'll tell you when the time is right. For now just keep it out of the ditch.

ive already owned the car for a year and a half, almost 2 years, and ive only been in one wreck, and that was because i was run off the road, so im not a reckless driver, i just want to see what my car can actually do!!

Thats one wreck too many. I've been driving for 7 years without any accidents or wrecks.

Is there anything on the car to actually tune the car with, like a S-AFC II? Boost controller?

He probably just turned the boost way down and/or retarded the ignition timing.

ya theres a manual boost controller, but i don't know if hes just saying this, but he said that if i turn it up that it will just cut out, and i tried it aned thats what it did, instead of 10 psi it went to 12 but just cut out right away, when its at 10 it won't cut out
