Default To much boost

Alright, my brother has a '88 crx with a b18a1 in it. He recently put a turbo on it and and it has 16 pounds of boost. He wants to know how he can get that down to normal like between 6-8 pounds of boost. I don't know anything about turbo's so I can't help him. I'm not exactly sure what kind of turbo it is. If it was tuned correctly wouldn't that help a lot? Thanks in advance.

What turbo is he running? Internal or external wast gate (W/G). He either need to adjust the W/G rod if internally gated or change the W/G spring to something smaller if externally gated.

AND get a cheap manual boost controller

everyone who has the slightest bit of knowledge knows that you can NOT go lower than your WG's PSI spring.

END OF LINE.
