    Boost controlled by ECU. Yes or no?

    As my wishlist grows and grows, one thing I have on the list is an ECU and tune. Right now I'm running a turbosmart boost tee (Which is absolute crap.

    Why is my S15 boosting high?

    Hi guys, I have recently got an S15 and it's boosting above stock. I had it on a dyno yesterday and it showed about 1.1bar (17psi). There is no boost controller on the car so I'm trying to find out how the boost has been turned up. The guy at RDT said he didn't know the S15 engine perfectly...
