I have a boost controller and was trying to set it up and ended up OVER boosting for a second - then the waste gated or bosst controlerer dumbed all my boost. But, seemed ok after? Could this have done damage. I boosted to about well... my gauge goes to 15psi and I went by it some to 17-18-19 maybe not sure where - only for a second?? Thanks

You are probably OK, but if you are going to continue "experimenting," you should bench test your boost controller switch, which should kill the fuel pump when actual intake pressure exceeds 15 PSI. Sounds like you need a functioning one!

You better fix that boost-controller.

If you want to experiement with boost, why not by a knock-link knock detector ? It doesnt cost that mutch. And can save you a lot of money..
