How much change do you see in your mbc settings?

I've tried to set mine at about 10psi, but I am seeing anywhere from 8 to maybe 11 or 12 sometimes. Is that what you guys are seeing with a mbc? I still have stock intake, ic, and ic piping. I've also done the 110 bosch bov upgrade.

Thanks

with mine i will hit maybe 8 or 9psi in 1st then in 5th i hit fuel cut at about 12-13psi. because of the different amount of load in 1st compared to 5th i don't think you can ever have it hit desired boost in 1st. i could be wrong. last night on my way home this guy in this mustang gt pull up next to me. i gave him a honk and my buddy said lets do it. so i dropped it into 3rd at about 60mph. wound out third and we were still side by side to about 100mph. then once i hit 4th i just started to pull away. then i hit 5th and i was gone. i look down and i'm doing 135mph so i had to let off since that part of 101 is a little rough and there was a somewhat sharp corner coming up. my buddy is screaming HOLLY FUCK the whole time. LOL. because of how my boost controller works i usually get people at the end of a pull. in 3rd i only see maybe 10psi. once i get a gauge pod i like for my ebc this shit will be over.
