ok i know how a boost controller works to increase boost, but how does it work to decrease boost? what is the best way to make sure the boost stays at 5psi?

boost will only go as low as your wastegate spring allows...

with the stock srt wastegate spring you will not boost pass 4-5psi... feed a boost source right to the wastegate nipple. (no boost controller needed in between)

They have a solenoid box that the ECU controls... that actually controls the boost.
