since it was cold, and the ground can be slippery, i turned my boost controller all the way down, and i still see constant 7lbs of boost.



is this normal, considering i have stock turbos, and all the major bolt ons? or shouuld my boost be lower?

yeah the stock spring rate on the turbos is 7 psi. You can't turn them down any lower

......get yourself a $2500 civic for the winter. Just a cheap beater is better then getting salt on that new IBM paint of yours.
