Ive searched up couldnt find it but simple Q, can i have the boost increased to say 9psi without having a boost controller or boost guage? Reason why is Im getting a FMIC installed and wanted to up the boost, Im gonna get a PowerFC with the boost controller kit but my skyrocket is a little short (hopefully in a month or so). So is it possible to get a mechanic to just manually set it to run and have it as a temp solution?

It will make your car run 7PSI all rev ranges. If could also get a $20 bleed valve, they seem to work for people.

Basically no. Buy one of the $22 boost controllers that are on this forum somewhere. I haven't heard any complaints about them! That'll get you started while you wait.

oh you beat me to it

you cant increase the boost without some sort of boost controller.

you could use the accutor off a rb20 turbo to increase to approx 9psi

the spring in the turbo accuator is set at a certain psi so your mechanic cant just adjust it manually

the 2nd option is just to use a bleed valve

3rd option is to use one of they many electronic boost contollers (ebc) on the market. these are more $$ but better functions

i also found that addition of 3in exhaust and cooler increased the boost level
