IC upgrade = over boost? STi

Today I installed a Perrin TMIC. Fit was near perfect. I was happy to see it clears my Cusco strut top bar. Anyways, the car is still running the tune with the stock unit. I did a couple of highway sprints and noticed that my peak boost on my 93 map increased .05 bar (metric gauges) at WOT in 5th & 6th gear. Overboost right? Should i bring back the boost values till the car is re-tuned?

Yep.. to play it save, you should bring down the boost to prior levels. Might only have to drop the duty cycles in the boost table by 4-5 points to do so.

Cheers,
