spend the money and get an electric boost controller.
And do you think 10 PSI with good tuning is ok for the motor?

im fixing to use the AEM boost control while the car is at T1 now. Gonna use the aem boost solenoid for boost by gear. Didnt have time to set up all the extra stuff when I was at the dyno last time so while its there we are setting up the goodies.

Really I like the dual or triple stage MBC from Turbo XS or Turbosmart. If I didnt have the AEM standalone thats what I'd go with my buddies 700whp civic uses the turbo smart dual stage flip of a switch and he can have 15psi or 30psi or you can be even more baller and get the triple stage and have like 5psi,10psi,15psi or how ever u want it. Im just not a EBC fan.

ohh yea, also, you may wanna start with a smaller wg spring like everyone else is telling you. You can always turn the boost up with a smaller spring, cant go backwards though...just some food for thought

So what is a scramble feature on a boost controller? I thought it upped the boost to a predetermined level for a short period of time. Am i mistaken? My AEM TruBoost gauge type controller says it has that feature.

I have used countless Profec B's. All have worked flawlessly as long as installed correctly. I personally like the AVCR for electronic units. It is the only one other than the uber expensive World Eletronics unit that allows RPM AND boost per gear changes. Works great and auto adjusts even.

You know, every car is different. It might be fine on 10psi with a good tune. But if you end up pushing over 300hp on 10psi, your block is not going to last very long. If you tune at 10psi and only make 280hp, you should be fine.
What issue are you having with getting a smaller spring? Do you just no want to pay for a boost controller?
Honestly, with you being in colorado (higher elevation) you probably wont' get 300hp at 10psi, so yeah, a good tune and you should be good.
I just think it would be beneficial to have the OPTION of lower boost just incase something is not running right at the higher boost level.
