Be careful when adjusting base boost. If you set it too high, the APC has not enough control "window" (i don't know how to put it in another way) to taper the boost to the safe zone, when in overboost. There is a lot of information on the web how to tweak the APC, e.g. www.turboteam.com follow the menu Tech/Enhancements/APC upgrade.
