Default power fc on a classic

Hi I've just fitted a power fc on my classic and looking for some advise.
I believe this is not set up for UK fuel as standard and I'm concerned about the knock value
I'm running a front mount with k&n induction kit with stock 380cc injectors

If it's not mapped for that car it's probably confused

Fair enough. Does anyone have any example images of what the power fc should be reading

How do you mean "should be reading"? Reading what?

What car is it on?

If it's not been properly mapped the reading may be meaningless.

My V3 STi reads around 11 after mixed driving.

That's driving it?

If I thrash mine for a bit it'll see around 18-19 never really more than that. Bob Rawle who mapped mine told me not to worry till it gets to over 60!!

No problem but get it mapped asap. It could be **** on or it could be miles out. The difference is around 3 grand!!
