Technical questions about boost control

I have a 1994. I modified my stock intake and now get 1 extra lb boost. Next week I will have a downpipe installed. I want to control the boost so 10 PSI is the most I can get. I have read extensivly about the home depot boost controller, etc searching this forum. I am not interested to have more than 10PSI at this time. I am concerned because I have read that its EASY to blow your motor during tuning by turning the valve too far. All I want is 10 PSI on my motor until I get a new ECU at a later date.

with that said is there a size of hose to replace the two hoses going to the the wastegate and to the precontrol that will keep it at 10 MAX? without the need of a valve?

Anyhelp will be appreciated, thanks.

You would have to put a different pill in the wastegate and precontrol lines. RP might have the right ones for you.

Just the bigger WG pill from RP (rx7.com) should do it. Read all about it at links in 'newbi info'

well if you do the home depot boost controller just start out with it fully OPEN you should not get more than 7psi! take it slow with the valve and you can get 10psi real easy.

Buy a boost controller and get it over with. The brass valve trick I 've read is pretty foolproof . Just tap the line and tighten the **** to adjust boost. I don't think your in any serious danger of popping your motor from 11-12 psi.
