I have fuelled it safely for a K&N 57i.
You can use a Dawes with it up to 18 PSI if you have a knocklink. On track turn it down to 16 PSI.
You can adjust the actuator a little bit if using the factory boost controller to shoot for about 17 PSI held in 5th gear in present weather conditions. If you are way out from this worth adjusting it a bit, every car is different, typical boost range on this map is 16.5 - 17.5 PSI depending on breathing, temperatures, humidity, driving conditions etc. It is not massively crucial the exact boost you run - if you run a bit less you'll get a bit less fuel and more timing so not the drop in torque you might expect.

Have recently purchased a second-hand tek 2.5 which is the one programmed by John Banks. Whilst I am serioulsy impressed by it in every way, I want to ensure that I am getting as much out of it as I possibly can! I currently have a full H+S de-cat, forge DV and am in the process of getting a K+N induction kit. I am led to believe that John's maps are optimum for this set-up, but just wanted someone (including John if he is still here) to clarify this for me! Thanks fellas.

It's a re-circ.
Wasn't convinced standard DV would handle the higher boost leve as well. Main question really is about the K+N, am I right in saying that John's maps are done with this in mind?
Also, what else can I do without re-mapping to optimise my torque figure, I have heard of people using dawes devices to help control the boost, is this a viable option?
