Default stock boost levels

What is the stock boost level for an 04 srt-4? I know this might sound crazy but how would i turn the boost down to say 8 or 9 psi

stock boost for me was 2nd-5th gear 16-13 depending on weather

i think the lowest boost setting you can have on the stock wastegate is 7 or 8 psi and to do that get a boost controler. but you cant go lower than spring tension of your wastegate.

there are a few quick reasons i can think of. his handle is familyman so maybe he has young kids and doesnt want to bounce there heads off of the back of there car seats when having to get on it. or traction problems is the only reason ive done it but that was with e01 and its boost overtake mode.

I guess im a bad father because im a family man and i dont have my boost turn down! I DONT NEED TO HAVE MY BOOST TURN DOWN TO REMEMBER MY BABY AND WIFE IS IN THE CAR LOL! i ALWAYS GO SLOW WITH THEM IN IT.SO IF SOMEONE HAS TO TURN THERE BOOST DOWN SO THEY DONT GET ON IT,MAYBE THEY SHOULDNT HAVE A FAST CAR.All my friends turn theres down when they want to save gas and when there just around town.Then by the *** it goes up very fast.People should learn how to drive a car slow once in a while or the car is not going to last very long LOL.

I do think this is a pointless post and a little out of line. he never gave the reason nor does he have to or should he be called out on parenting skills when im pretty sure you dont even know this person. so i would say if you dont have anything usefull to add dont.

and on the putting in low octane gas that could work for what hes doing. i wouldnt do it, but persay hes teaching his 15 year old kid how to drive and doesnt want to have his car wrapped around a pole or over a curb.
