Just about to take delivery of a boost controller and gauge, was wondering what was a safe level to set up for maximum boost under normal conditions???

Cheers

Thumbs up

I think fuel cut is at about 1.25 bar-1.1 seems to be a safe level+ allows for any change in temps(colder) which can raise boost levels with a manual boost control.
