Yeah, I turned mine back as well. I don't hit the boost limit no matter how hard I try, but I still get boost up to 1/2 in the red (spike) and about 1/4-1/3 in the red when it all settles. That's still a good bit more than I used to have. First gear under boost is tricky and second gear can even spin the tires if your not careful. Just today, I took off from a stop light and I needed to accelerate to get over to make a turn and I took off in first gear, the turbo spooled up and the tires lit up. That never happened with stock boost (except in the rain). I wouldn't worry about the extra power as long as it is mostly used in the higher gears (3-5)..just like the Viggen. I mostly use the turbo power in 2nd and 3rd anyway and I use it sparingly so I'm not worrying too much about wear and tear. Sorry about the rambling, it's virtual Friday.
