low boost ok?

[mitsugsx95]

I know this might sound like a dumb question, but does it hurt your
engine or turbo to run low boost ( 8-10psi) for daily driving all the time?
It just feels like if I get on it, it doesnt feel right.

Thats cause the boost freak in you is telling you its wrong, haha. But stock boost is around 10-12 psi round there. It shouldn't be a problem, but then again may I ask why you running it lower than stock levels?

I just put on my MBC and was testing it out. I hardly have the thing open and im still getting about 15psi in 3rd. Whats the norm for psi in each gear? Should they all be the same? (I know 4th and 5th have lower psi levels).

nah no problems running low boost.. just run really rich most likely which isnt a really bad thing.. I set my boost controller to 7psi tonight.. kinda funny to be riding on an L2r @ 7psi

Yeah, you can run your car just fine as low PSI as you want.
Ever drive around at only part-throttle? That's a low psi, and you can do that all day, and you won't be rich either.
