How do you manage those 8 psi once you really leave your altitude ?
I know altitude scrubs off boost pressure, but I don't believe it to be that much??

I will not go to sea level, I live in the moutains.
If I decide to, I will put a bigger 100mm pulley on.

Based on what you are saying, I would need a 7psi pulley?

Roman I would love a comment...
