Boost Controller Question

If a boost controller is installed how low can you set the boost? I am not quite sure how they work. For example if there is bad weather can i turn the boost off or really low? thanks!

you can not set it any lower then what you are running without one.

boost controllers only raise boost.

Actually

i think i did lower it a bit with my Knightsport EBS2 on my S5, when turned down maximum i only boost 7,8 psi, but then again that is around stock i guess... i have upgraded T04B Hybrid with very ported stock wastegate, and i think the porting is the answer.... i was avtually surpised i could boost that low, i thought that with all my mods it would be higher, since i have both Race-cat and downpipe (see modlist)
