so my car should of been set up to 5 pounds of boost.. but recently its doing wayyyyy beyond that. i seen it go up to like 10 psi .... which is noooo good i have a completly stoock engine and dont want to ruin it.... or on the other hand it could be that my gauge is misreading it,, i doubt that.. any ideas why all the sudden ? and how i could manually adjust the psi seeting,.....


i have a t3/t4 hybrid turbo

I was running 11psi on a stock motor, you should be fine. but it sounds like boost creep. you should check your wastegate and vacuum lines.
