I dont think you can just "change" it..you have to have it tuned for that psi, i guess you could turn your boost controller down and then youll just run rich as ****. since i think it will dump enough for for 12 psi instead of you only running 10 psi. Good luck

Wrong Wrong!

You can change the built in boost controller for different boost levels like reducing it from 12psi to 10 psi. When you run different boost levels (10 vs 12) the PFC like the stock ECU runs diffferent parts of the same map and the AFR should be OK depending on how well it was tuned. It will not go **** rich by doing this unless the fuel map is ****!

Reread the manual regarding boost settings. You will have to adjust the boost duty cycles to lower the boost. Adjust your target boost levels to what you want to run.

You would think you would do that BEFORE posting a question on a simple procedure....or BEFORE installing the PFC, for that matter.
