I need to keep my boost control stock for the purposes of autox/rallyx. However, my boost is lower than it should be. I have a 93 talon tsi, and the boost is typically only between 7-8 psi.

I want to squeeze out a few more psi, I've heard people hitting about 11 or so, but i'm not entirely sure why i'm not already hitting it.

Turbo is in good working order, zero boost leaks (even replaced the compressor housing O-ring). No exhaust leaks. I have put an MBC on it, and it was boosting very nicely up to 17 psi... so its capable of boosting just fine.

Is my BCS bad or something? Is there any little discreet way I could up my boost to a reliable 11 psi, on the cheap and free?

Thanks!
 
Sweet, got a working BCS installed. It hits max boost, a consistant 12 psi, now, regardless of whether or not my car is seeing knock. Sweet!
