Boost controller Question
 
I using a SVO mustang turbo on my DOHC ZC Turbo project. I have almost everything and I have made everthing I need to put it on and I'm just waitting to buy my BOV and a boost controller. Here's my question the turbo I'm using is about the size of a T3 ( it's almost exactly the same size but IHI is printed on the side and not Garret which comes in the T-birds which means it's not a true T3 ) and I believe ford rate's it at like 10-11 PSI stock. I only want to be pushing 7-8 PSi cause my car is a daily driver plus stock ZC rod tend to break after 200HP. Is there a boost controller out on the market that actually lets you lower the boost leve to below factory spec.s. I was looking at either buying the GReddy Profec B , or Blitz Spec S as a electronic controller but they don't say if you can lower boost level. If these controller don't could you tell what company make's a controller ( If any ) that will let me lower boost levels below factory spec.s . Thanks for any help I can get.

With a boost controler you cannot drop the boost you could just raise it.

Thanks for the help. I just bought this thing but using this kind of turbo is just been a pain in the ass from day one some I think I'll just buy a ihi RHB or trade someone straight up for there turbo. I have the manifold , turbo , section of the down pipe all off a SVO mustang. So I'll throw in the manifold and everything if someone has a IHI RHB turbo in as good condition as mine and they have to have the section of down pipe that connects to the turbo exhaust housing so I have something to make a down pipe off of. Oh I check on a Ford site this turbo puts out 15 PSI stock so if I were to use it I'd have to REALLY bend the arm to get it down to 7-8 PSI. Do you know anyone that may want to trade straight up.
