same here... im tuned for 24psi... but im always at 22psi to be safe. (im always on 93 oct) But i also have zero knock at 24psi, its just the high boost # always make me uneasy! you'll be ok by turning it down it.

I just had my car tuned too and now the weather is getting cooler. (boost will go up?) Can someone, preferably a tuner confirm turning down the boost will not mess with the tune and case knocking at all?

well maybe you wont get knock cause its just 1psi,but remeber that the stock ecu will hit a lower load cell and probably you will get a leaner afr.
