Default boost controller ?

so with any boost controller you can only run twice the max spring pressure in the wg?

it is suggested that you only run double the wg spring psi.

it will control it passed the double mark..but there may be fluctuations.

it would open when the back pressure got high enough to push the gate open, but there may never be enough pressure before the engine gives up or the turbo runs out of steam.

We run the smallest spring i could put in the gate (~4psi HKS) and run the controller/C02 up to the high 20's for boost. No control issues.
