Boost machine question for those with experience or knowledge!?!?!?!?
I have added the boost machine to my 225 TT about 5k miles ago. The whole time I am running it all the way open! I had told someone this and they said to be careful for the motor blowing! I know that anything is possible but won't the boost machine blow the turbo before the motor? Warranty is almost up and replacing a turbo would not be a bad thing with a bigger one in the future, but $8000 for a new motor installed would really suck. Should I turn this thing down or does it only hurt the turbo!!??

What do you mean "All the way open" ....>>
This is impossible without going into overboost limp. If you mean you have it cranked full clockwise, in reality you have it turned off. What's your boost level...and have you read the instructions?

should be asking which valve he has all the way open.
it's not the pressure regulator because it's not hitting limp... so's it's got's to be da udder one. which would actually do dick for you to have it open "all the way"
