Standard ecu and boost
 

What's the maximum boost ideally that the standard ecu can deal with?

I'm sure I've seen folk post saying 1 bar is the maximum for safety reasons but others say different and have run their cars at higher boost in the std ecu with no issues.

The car is a 2002 bug running a gt30 @ 1 bar just now. Fully forged etc.

All the boost

Crank it u, get a decent map sensor i.a.t sensor and if u go mafless then skys the limit

with a Perrin map sensor mine runs 1.75bar with no problems at all (hatch with racerom) , best mate was well over 400bhp on his standard bugeye ecu with a gt30 , this was open source but bob rawle did say it would be better on ecutek , but he ended up swapping it out for a alkatek

my bug runs 1.5 bar with ease.

Standard ecu with factory map sensor will read to about 1.55ish bar

What sort of power is the GT30 hybrid capable of?

It's a 2.5 with 2.0 heads machined to fit, rcm headers, decat etc fully forged, fmic.

that sort of spec i;d be looking at aftermarket ecu anyway, syvecs time ;)

I'm selling it in so don't really want to spend too much money, if I were keeping it I'd go that route.

Depends on the spec of said turbo but if its doing a genuine 400bhp @ 1 bar, you should see around 430-450 @ 1.5bar
