Question Boost Question

Lets say my brother is driving my car and i dont want it to be fast for him or for him to feel it fast, is it possible to turn the boost down to 0 or maybe 1 psi? If not whats the lowest you can turn it down to?

Do you have a boost controller? I am pretty sure if you have the boost controller you can turn up or down you boost. Just make sure it is hidden or he will see it and probably mess around with it.

do you have an internal wastegate or an external ??

if it's internal, there should be like a default boost setting on it... mine was set to like 4-5 psi... this means that if you competely close off the boost controller i'm still running 4-5 pounds...

you can disconnect the actuator rod to run 0 psi(about 1 min to do)
