setting boost level question.
Hello,
I recently relocate my oil catch can and in the process accidentally moved the manual boost controller knob not sure wither decrease or increase it , or by how much.
I have the Turbosmart boost tee controller , that does not have a reading scale on it.
Does anyone know a way to set the boost level safely.
I've just got tuned 2 weeks ago and did not want to go back to have it retune because of it.
made 381hp/369ft-lbs on 26.7psi.

What was your peak boost level set at before you went and F**KED things up? Does your boost gauge read in PSI, or BAR?
I think that maybe I can help you. But, if not then it'll be like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole. That is, there may be no way back out of this mess . You'll have to part out your car and get a Prius instead.

I believe that if you turn it all the way negative, it returns to stock. (just fyi) Start moving it more and more in the plus direction(half turn, then quarter turn at one time) until you read the "correct" boost.
After you get it back remember to MARK IT ON YOUR CONTROLLER!! This way when things happen like you accidentally move it, you always know where it was
