0.9 bar on the oe ecu. Manual boost controllers are crude and very easy to blow your engine if you wind it up too much.

you can take the engine safely to 1.2 bar but no more with it being perfectly safe.

No, MBC are a good way to cap the boost after certain mods but can be used to lift the boost a little.

I thought the boost cut limit on a standard ECU was 1.02bar
