Default Boost fooler

Today I made up a mechanical boost fooler. It consists of a screw type valve that you would put on a paint spray gun to control input pressure. I have it set to 22 PSI. It seems to work well but I did notice at WOT on my 100 HP tune, I can hit 1,200 EGT alot easier than before I put the valve on. My question is, have any of you guys that have mechanical boost fooler noticed this? I'm not concerned that it gets that hot since it drops temperature when I let off. But I did get to 24 PSI now.
Thanks,
Geoff

that's what i was thinking. But i'm wondering if it's still acurate. according to the gauge the boost comes up alot faster. but it feels like she's putting out a little more too.
