I am having a unichip fitted and want to know what boost I can run.
John Nobles at Chesterfield reckon 1.2bar is the maximum
Cheers Andy

 

you need egt gauge and afr to check all ok when boosting mine goes to 1.2/1.25

 

try 1.9 m8

I am not sure what NINJA is referring to when he says use EGT and AFR? This is good advice, but as you are having a Unichip fitted then the tuner should sort this for you - if he doesn't then he should be shot!

Clearly 1.9bar is barmy - but 1.3 should be very acceptable - however with the Unichip you may want to set it slightly lower as the boost can wander about a bit, especially if the car gets hot on track. It also depends on your boost control strategy.
