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

He is the man for the job, think the lives just inside Kent by he does a lot of mapping at Surrey Rolling Road. He has been mapping my wrx for years and is running 352/340 at percent.

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

Cheers for the info!! i best hold on then till i get me bits sorted ready for mappin!!!! im on my second gauge and they both read 1bar? i had the same with my v-limited but that was boosting 1.5 bar standard map! that was nice and aggresive!!! untill i hit 112 n get whiplash but could overide by decellerating and back on! that was a nice car last bloke on here had it and had it goin 328bhp would like abit more than that!!! somthing about the classics they feel more aggressive were as mine smoother power all in good time! Il have to get some pics up so you all can have a nosey! and hopfully tell me bit about its history other than it sat for 8 months!

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

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