Default More PSI From The 2.5L Turbo

I was reading a thread on adjusting the PSI in the turbo, and the 2.5L Turbo S70 wasn't mentined at the bottom where it said "This information does not apply to..." and was wondering if it was just a misprint, or if there is something funky with it.

I know it is a simple yes and no answer, but I just dosn't want to send the engine through the hood if the motor can't take the adjustment.

Thanks

Yes it can be done. Not all cars like it though.
These cars have a Boost control Valve. Some cars the Valve will stop the boost.
But most cars it will work on. You will have to try it and see.

It won't Blow the engine. If it goes into over Boost it will fall flat on its face. Just like going full boost then shutting the car off.
