mine only runs max boost on a cold night so id have it set up 1 or 2 psi under what you think it should run considering winter is just round the corner!

the boost limit on a standard ecu is 10psi any more that this and the boost limiter will kick in.the standard boost on a rs turbo (S2) is just a touch over 7 psi.
