Tekna PROLITE USERS help needed

Hey fellas I need some help, last week I got the tekna prolite & some spi high solids universal clear.I sprayed a panel with it & was happy.I'm just wondering if any of you guys who have this gun can can give me some advice on how to dial this gun in correctly.I usually run my comp which is w 60 gallon wide open @ the wall with 50 ft of 3/8 & a 3ft whip hose.I took off the digital gauge as it kept shutting off Idk if it was supposed to or not so I put the manual one on.
Ill be using the te 20 cap & 1.4 tip.The gun will mainly be used for the spi uni clear & base maybe once in a great while base as I have 2 flg4s for that.So please what adjustmeants shall I start out with & how many psi does this thing need @ the wall & gun to flow the clear out nice & wet.It did well right out of the box.I have a minor resto I have been doing on a truck & will be spraying it in a day or so mom always said if you don't ask questions you won't learn anything..
Sorry so long & for such poor grammar & puncutuation.
 
The gauge shuts off after 45 seconds which is kind of annoying. I remember Barry saying 125+ at the wall regulator some where. I would just use the Max pressure it says on the air cap which I think is 26 on the te20. As for your other questions I can't help sorry as i'm still practicing with this gun. I would highly recommend shooting test panels with base and/or clear and getting it perfect before spraying a car since a few ounces of clear will be cheaper than respraying. ask me how I know.... Lol
 
I just set the gun at 27 and adjust by shooting a fast pattern on a piece of cardboard to get what I want. I don't look for a magic setting but find the gun to be pretty forgiving.
