Morning Neil.

The stock ECU will allow boost to be increased up to 1.0 Bar (14.5 Psi) before it senses "Over-Boost" and cuts the ignition.

I assume you have fitted / plan to use a calibrated boost gauge to tune the boost as this is really a MUST !

You MUST ensure you keep MAX boost / and Spikes below the above figure especially when rev's are below 3000 rpms other wise you risk bending a con rod.
