Default Lowering the boost

Hi all

I'm a newbie scooby owner and wondering how I can lower by boost.

I've got a boost guage in the car and it goes upto around the 15psi when pushing hard, thinking maybe safer to tone this down a little??

Got a guage with a little push type switch on it but havent a clue what that actually does...any ideas??

You could fit a manual boost controller and turn it down yourself. Dawes is popular but there are some cheaper ones on Ebay that work the same.
