Im pushing about 8 pounds right now without a boost control

and i was wondering

if i got a manual boost control, and set it as low as i could, in my eyes would increase fuel economy correct?

so say im using it as my daily driver, i throw it to lowest setting, then for drifting or racing, throw it back up to its full potential or at least back to 8lbs.

this seems logical, but i want your opinions also

no boost controller can lower the boost setting on a wastegate............the only way to lower boost is to switch out the wastegate spring to a lower psi spring for the wastegate...............

Go par throttle and shift as soon as you make positive boost..... How you get better gas mileage than stock if your car is tuned.....
