I cant comment on a Scooby as of yet, cos firstly mine is an STI with just ppp so not really anything off the wall. But I used to own a 200sx which was heavily modded and had the boost altered.

I always made sure I tested the boost and had the garage set it in the winter when its really cold, this way you dont overboost when its get cold..if you see what I mean. Yes performance used to drop ever so slightly when in summer time but never had any problems.

I made the first error in changing the boost pressure during summer 2003 i think it was, when it came to decemeber the damn thing was almost detonating and hitting the boost cut all the time, always set turbo pressures when its cold is my advice.
