The only way to know what boost pressure is safe is to monitor detonation, and ideally air:fuel ratio. You can do the former with a KnockLink and the latter with an AFR meter.
i have just got the standard ecu.

Plug it into a Select Monitor or DeltaDash, or, if you don't have access to those, just lift the passenger footwell carpet and the ECU cover, and look at the label. Will be either AE800, AE801 or AE802.

AE800 and 801 are about the same power wise. AE802 develops slightly less power, feels smoother (i.e. car comes on boost a little more gradually), has more active knock detection and a reputation for hesitant throttle response.
