boost controller question
if i buy a manual boost controller, can the car be driven with the boost off or set to low for long journeys?
nothing will be damaged, will it?

All a manual boost controller does is restrict the boost going to the actuator from unlimited atmospheric (maximum) to standard (minimum)...
...so basically, if you turn it down to zero it will just run whatever it would normally run without it, ie standard. I do this for normal day to day running about etc. and turn it up for playtime
Nothing will be damaged as long as you dont set it above 1.2 Bar... although tbh 1 Bar is quite enough If you can get hold of a Boost gauge to make sure its set up right, all the better, otherwise you risk hitting fuel cut, and thats not good, lol... (and it hurts too)

Running lower boost won't help your fuel economy anyway, assuming thats what your trying to acheive.
Its mapped for 1.2 bar of boost, therefore its fuelled for 1.2 bar of boost. The car will just run rich if you had less boost, and probably ****.
