Question how to keep my boost down

Hey, I just wanted to know how to keep my boost down to safe levels. Right now it spikes pretty hard to 15psi with no problem right on the throttle. My mods are in the signiture. any help would be greatly apreciated.

A boost controller will work for you. Just decide which one you want to go with. The GReddy Profec B seems to be the most popular.

ball and spring type boost controller, if you are still creeping, just put in a restrictor plate or go all out and port your wastegate

I have a HKS type dp, 3.5-3.75 inch mp/catback straight thru type as well as intake (cai) and smic intercooler and am getting a solid 10-8-10 boost pattern in every gear took me like 3 days to dial in my ball and spring boost controller (had trouble finding placed to go WOT in 3rd and 4th gear without the cops catching me, very hard to do in Hawaii actually). It was hella fun doing repeated WOT runs though hehe. oddly enuf, i was getting pretty good millage (better then ususal) while doing this testing
