Wayyyy too much boost

Highway pull in 3rd tonight led to a quick buildup to 15 pounds, and this car is all stock other than a boost gauge, FCD, and a blow off. I just got the car, and it has an Apexi AVC-D electronic boost controller wired in, with the plug in the engine bay for the solenoid, and it lights up when plugged in, so I'm assuming it's all good to go. Now, the only thing is, with this being a somewhat old EBC, I can't find instructions for it anywhere. It has some self-explanatory ***** on the front, but all kinds of switches and doo-dads on the back that I need the manual to figure out what they are for. Does anyone have the instructions for one that they can scan, a link, or just know how to set it up for a TII? Thanks.

call apexi and ask for a copy of the instruction manual to be emailed or faxed to you.. they can also tell you over the phone how to do it....

having said that, most EBC's use a % of total duty cycle, you start with a low number and slowly turn it up a couple points at a time until you reach your desired level. every setup is different so a duty cycle of 10 may or may not be equal to 10 psi of boost

*edit*

here is a link to a site that has a ton of user manuals for various boost controllers and such. It doesnt have the "D" but it does have the "R" and i am sure it is similar
