You cant just choose a solid psi number. It's set by duty cycle on the MAC valve rather than choosing a psi setting.

That means you've just got to adjust the setpoint and trial and error, naturally you'll be adjusting it downwards, try five clicks as a starting point - my old setup was 5 clicks between 19.5 and 17.5 as a reference...

Once you've got it set, check it a bit in different conditions. I'm sure you'll see it varied depending on temp etc.

If you're not comfortable fiddling, take it to a nearby performance shop that are used to working on imports - chances are they'll charge you bugger all to show you or set it up. If you bought it from a real shop rather than the internet, go and see them.
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.
