overboosting?

what's up guys

i put an intake and a boost gauge on my car about a week ago and now when i step on it its boosting to 14 for some reason. It always used to only go to 12 lbs of boost. I wasjsut wondering if this would hurt the turbo at all since i still have the stock bov on there and it leaks at 12


thanks

Your turbo can suck in more air without trying harder, therefore your going to get more boost.

Don't worry about it

The stock BOV does start leaking at 12pis but if you pushing more you can still get more the 12psi of boost. If you replace that BOV make sure to get a mbc because w/o the stock BOV to leak you start seeing unsafe boost pressures.
