Default Max and safe boost on vf35 turbo + other questions prior to mapping

Guys,

Does anyone know what is the MAX and safest boost on a VF35 on a my02 STi.

I was going to get a boost controller (manual) prior to getting the car mapped but not sure?

Im thinking about upgrading the fuel pump too as I think it has the factory one still at present. What gains can you get from a uprated fuel pump.

I have a read out from when I bought the car that read 332.9bhp / 330.2lbft
That was with the old Milltek system with sports cat,Panel filter and V-Power

When I took the car to Powerstation I got the following.
319.2bhp/294lbft That was with the Team Ice system including sports cat,TSL GRP N panel filter and V-power.

I now use around 80mls of NF octane booster and would be hopefully adding a boost controller,Fuel reg (maybe but don't think I'll need it) along with the factory injectors still.

Not sure yet who to get my car remapped with but I am optimistic with results and would like something like 330bhp / 330+lbft if possible. Is this out of the question on a Ecutek map with no other major mods? I can't go for anti-lag on Ecutek but want some pops and bangs added with over run.

Sorry to be boring.

gimp boy. no gains power wise with the fuel pump just stops starvation. mines mapped on 1.4 bar think can go to 1.5 not sure. as said on ss dont get a manual boost.
think you can hit the 330 easy mate and your mapper can put in pops and bangs on over run.
as for mappers take ya pick used simon jgm twice and service is great but up to you.
