Thumbs up Supercharger boost controller

I have a 3.1" pulley making 8 psi of boost at my current altitude of 3,623ft, when i go down to sea level i make 13 psi of boost and thats not safe for my stock 2.4. I have heard lots of talk about a S/C boost controller can anyone fill me in of how that all works?

You can use a traditional boost controller on the supercharger bypass to lower the boost only but nobody does that so you will probably be left to a little trial and error when hooking it all up.

Alter your driving style a little for sea level or tune for the 13 psi safely?

I've got a 2.8" pulley on my blower plus 12gph of meth/water and I can get up to almost 14 psi. Like another member said, just get a safe tune, or adjust your driving style to keep it safe. I'm not too educated on what our stock 2.4s can handle but from what I've heard, our connecting rods will be the first to go.
