wihout any form of remap then a BAR of boost sound s alittle greedy IMO, it "might" be safe but you'd only know by getting the AFR's, etc. checked

You won't get any more then 1.2 bar as that's where the fuel-cut / safety limit is set on a standard map. This is the point you peel your face off the dashboard when it cuts fuel.

I wouldn't recommend any more then 1bar without getting it checked for detonation.
You may be able to run close to 1.1bar, but any sign of detonation will pull timing so you won't actually go any faster then running 1 bar without detonation.

Standard boost should be peaking at 0.95bar

Gauges normaly over-read a touch even expensive Defi's
The power to weight in a classic makes a huge difference compared to a Newage. A newage needs to have 400BHP to match a classic with 330BHP, hence why I went back to a Classic

Newage STi Kerb Weight 1470Kg, 280BHP = 190BHP/Tonne
Newage WRX Kerb Weight 1395Kg, 212BHP = 151BHP/Tonne

My Classic, as standard was :
UK Turbo Kerb Weight 1235Kg, 208BHP = 168BHP/Tonne

Modifed is :
UK Turbo Kerb Weight 1235Kg, 335BHP = 271BHP/Tonne

To get the same Power-To-Weight of 271BHP/Tonne from my Hawkeye STi would of required :
Hawkeye STi Kerb Weight 1495Kg, 406BHP = 271BHP/Tonne

Less weight is better, mine works out at 252 BHP/Tonne but I would need 25hp more to get to 271 BHP/Tonne.

I'd like 465bhp as it is let alone per tonne
