perfect example being letting some idiot fit skirts to it, he then proceeded to drive it to my work with no driving licence.i was fuming, buuuut he was subject to the limited boost so at least he didn't crash it.

nobody drive mine except me or a chose few..
and my car never gets left anywhere for this to happen.
for this reason

6psi is a lot better than 12psi- so i can see a tangable good reason for having it there then
- definately agree with reducing for the garage.
Always some div who wants to give it some when you're not there.

+1
min you can run is 7psi or 0.5bar
sure you can feather around 0-0.2bar or whatever, but foot down, hi-ish rpm you will reach 7psi.

Assuming you don't have a big exhaust.on my setup
(naughty naughty t.b.d downpipe, fujitsubo RM01a exhaust) under full throttle I saw 7psi until 5000 RPM or so, then it crept to 11psi.
