even with a boost guage tho you wont get it right 1st 2nd or probably even 3rd time, sometimes you will be under and other times you will hit the limiter.
this is the same principle, you wont be able to go above 10psi so you cant do any damage thats what the limiters there for! (especially considering you are taking it up 1 psi a time etc)

when I first got my RS, it was hitting past the boost limiter and the engine was cutting out mate. but that was only the tip of the iceberg of my problems....
I think it does cut the lot out though for a sec ????
bodge-it ballin will know
P.S. he knows I'm only joking

ballin, i see what youre' suggesting and where you're coming from. but its still not something i'd reccomend others do.
i tried the same thing on my 1st TT (trying to hit boost limiter)... ...the engine fucked up

haha fair play each to their own! any tuner who sets the boost tho will hit the limiter, thats the only way of knowing you've gone too far when you are playing around with less than 1psi or so!
when mine was done we went for 10psi on the gauge, but occasionally on hills or colder days it would cut out, so we backed it down a turn.
no damage done at all
