I'm worried about my new car. I just bought a 2G Talon TSi AWD with quite a few mods. It has a 3" turbo back exhaust, ported T28, custom intake, supra side intercooler, Greddy BOV, Dejon Tool piping, Clutchmasters clutch, Walbro fuel pump, S-AFC, and a Manual boost controller. When I bought the car, the clutch was bad and was slipping horribly. I replaced it, and drove it for the first time healthy today. The boost gauge reads peaks of 22-24 psi, with it settling at 15-17 psi. Is this too much boost? Should I be worried? Should I turn it down, and if so, to what? The engine pulls nicely, very strong, but I don't know what to look, listen, or feel for. I don't want to burn this clutch out, or worse, do something really damaging to the engine. Any recommendations, or consolations for me? I know that my profile hasn't been filled out, but I will soon. Any help that any of you can give me would be truly appreciated.
 
It should be alright (pump at 16psi). We run rich to begin with, but just incase, turn it down to 14 psi. till you upgrade the injectors. Make sure the AFC is a 0% across on highs and lows and get a logger ASAP.
