so, if I use a boost controller will I be able to keep my boost lower than just depending on the stock wastegate?
honestly, I wouldn't mind boost 10-11 PSI, I just don't know how much my motor will be able to take and I want to take it as easy as possible on it for the first few weeks. --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

If you got a mbc that works well, You could keep it at 5 psi. Thats very safe for that engine. 5 psi is how high it will boost when cold or when it sences a problem |

Thats very safe for that engine. 5 psi is how high it will boost when cold or when it sences a problem this is NOT true. guys, this is simple. the wastegate on the ct-26 opens @ ~7-8psi. with a free fowing exhaust, it will creep. a boost controller will only allow you to RAISE, not lower boost. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
