Picking up on what I said in a reply above, that if you run too much boost on a stock ECU that you may hit the buffer on the Load Scale. The above 2 posts give an indication of that.
For Example, if you run high boost on the Ae801 Map you have 'upto' 42 on the load scale.
If the Ae801 Prodrive tune naturally runs 42 on the load scale, it still has headroom upto 46.
However, if you run Prodrive levels of Boost on the Ae801 ECU you may run a Load of 42, or more, which pushes you off the top of the map. The car will still run but it will only run whats set by Load scale column 42,there is no headroom.
