Question New turbo, not enough boost

Howdy Volvo lovers,

fitted a new turbo to my V50 this weekend. the bearing had failed on the old one and was making a hell of a noise.

stupidly i did not adjust the actuator arm on the new turbo to match the old turbo when i installed it and now i'm finding the new turbo doesn't boost up quite as much as the old one.
can anyone tell me which why i should twist it to increase boost.

clockwise or anti clockwise?

here is a picture of the old turbo in the correct orientation.
thanks
zac
