Default First turbo

I turboed my first car
93 civic dx hatch
d15b7
T25 turbo from a 2nd gen eclipse
Greddy E-manage
Rc 310 injectors
Greddy knock off blow off valve
Hf manifold with adapter plate
2.25 homemade charge pipes.
tuner toys oil line kit

Running about 8 psi. I would like to run lower for freeway travel and daily driving but i heard somewhere that you can use a boost controller with an internally wastegated turbo?

I'll have pics up later

Boost controllers are ONLY for raising boost levels, not lowering them

Ditch the e-manage ASAP and get yourself some real engine management.

I'm saving up for a p28 and hondata but I want it professionally tuned so emanage will suffice for a bit. I'm getting a CEL's 3 and 43. The map sensor is obvious why but I don't know why its throwing the fuel supply system. Would that be my fuel pump or the fuel pressure regulator? I've messed with the fuel settings on the emanage but that didn't change anything. Could it be that I used the vacuum line to the Fuel pressure regulator for my blow off valve? Anything would help

but hows the knock-off BOV working for you?

I would not run your BOV from your fuel pressure regulator. Use one of the vac lines that doesn't serve quite as much purpose.
