Default z4 ecu

Does anyone know what the fuel cut rate is on one along with max boost?

WOULD IT BE HIGHER THAN A 3B ECU (13.79) seeing though the boost is set higher on the z4?

Im thinking about trying the z4 instead of the 3b on my 95 wrx wagon td04 turbo but i know the z4 is meant for a td05 sized turbo wrx...(i can increaase boost via the boost controller but i keep getting overboost because of the fuel cut on the 3b)

The Z4 has a boost target of 12.71psig along with a fuel cut of 15.65psig. It does contain a much more 'friendly' ignition map so is Ok on 98RON fuel (Optimax or Tesco's 99RON)

Cheers

Is this right? (I'm not questoning your knowledge!). Not sure what chip is in my 93WRX, but if I can get a 'safer' map I'd like to, but can't afford a remap.
Is the Z4 the way to go, or what about the Scoobyecu type?

A Z4 is the safest JDM ecu due to its ignition map being much less aggressive than the others - A scoobyecu would be the better option if you can locate one
