Hallman MBC Question

Alright, I did the research, and I finally installed the MBC.

Things work great, but for one thing, and I'm not sure if its normal.

I have it set up pretty much to boost right to 1.5 bar (approx 21 psi) @ WOT. However, under partial throttle load it will boost more than that, like 22 or so. Is this normal?

That is somehow normal. You are experiencing boost spike.

Well 1.5 bar is 21.75 psi. Hitting 22 is only .25 more.

Yeah, the conversion I calculated by a table I found was PSI * .069 = Bar. I was just told that 21 psi is really the max you should run the stock ecu at. I don't want to hurt the car before its tuned. I need to get A/F measured so I can make sure its not running lean or anything either.
