Default What do I need to run more boost

I am swapping from an Apexi ecu and an Apexi boost controller to a Simtek ecu that uses the standard map senser. Before I was running just under 1.4 bar, am I right in saying the standard map senser will only go to 1.25.

What do I need to be able to run the boost as before, car is 93 type RA.

standard map sensor on Pre96 only allows you to run about 1.15bar boost with fuel cut set at 1.25bar (approx).
you may be able to run with a Post96 Map sensor if the simtek can be rescaled with the required values/cal data.

Is the simtek available to anyone to fit now ? or is it limitted to Harvey/Steve Simpson ?

SimTek can be configured to run any MAP sensor.Favourites would be 97-98 Subaru or Delco 3 bar.Your installer can advise.

Dealers currently are:

Interpro, Bristol
Alan Jeffery Engineering, Plymouth
Triton, Bournemouth
ScoobyMania, Nottingham
Simpson motorsport, Lancaster

I was told 50quid + VAT for a higher rated MAP sensor to go with the Simtek.
