Default Manual Boost Controller and Boost

Hi to all

i want to know what my 02WRX is set as a standard boost?
i also need to know what is an acceptable boost increase without being silly about it. i havent changed anything else in the car yet. Many more plans

i am using one of those manual boost contollers (MBC) i found a picture of from the DIY section which redirects to another WRX forum. I also have a boost gauge.

Does anyone have any comments on the MBC that i am going to use?

16psi is fine. Decent increase without going silly. But your going to need a boost cut defender unless you get a reflash to increase the boost cut limit.
