The best way to tune a lucas?
remove it and fit a bosch...
but, seeing as you want to run without a boost guage, then the answer is there really isnt any way to do it, especially with the lucas, you really NEEED a boost gauge as every pump is slightly different, i acheived 15psi (up from 8) winding my fuel all the way in.. it didnt smoke at all but then i have no I/C or boost compensator on mine,
the problem with the lucas is you have to drain the pump to tweek it.. which is a ballache.
i would go with 90-135degrees of turn of the fuel screw, then fiddle with the compensator, run it, see how it feels, then do some more.
the problem with it is you wont know where you are boosting, without the gauge and it would be quite easy without knowing it to hit levels of boost that either start to bend things, or levels of EGR that start to melt things..

Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!
