Boosting Higher? than normal for some reason
ok whell i got the car back from the mech not to long ago for him to install magnacore 10mm wires and new sparkplugs (all 9s) since i didnt have time to do it....and i donno why but now it seems im boosting just a lil more.. like when i get on it it goes 11-10-11 and all i have modded on the car is a DP and 3inch Exhust. boost gauge and turbo timer.. i have a Elec boost controller that just needs to be installed.. so anyone know why it would be boosting a like that?
That boost pattern should be expected with your mods. You can't remove restrictions in the system, and expect boost to remain unchanged. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you don't exceed 11psi.

yea but wait it sliped my mind.... i mean it was running 10-8-10 before i got the plugs in.. i had everything else done and it was fine untill the plugs went in... could they make that happen?? im not worried since i know the EBC will bring it back to 10 when its installed
If you're using a mechanical boost gauge, sometimes the zero moves. Mine is reading 1.5 psi high at all times - not a problem since when the car is off I see it rest at 1.5psi, so you can still get useful readings from it.
