boost controller

Hi,

What boost controller do you guys use?

What is the highest boost possible to drive safe?

And is the standard boost 0.8 bar?

Regards,

Ramon

hi ramon, i use a dawes device http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MECHANICAL-BO...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a66135fe4
i did have a manual bleed valve type but would strongly advise against the as it was crap compared to the dawes.
as regards boost levels it is a grey area.
most aggree that 1 bar is safe. then alot of people run 1.2 with no issues.
i did run 1.35 for a while but after my turbo let go i have gone back to 1.2
alot depends on what mods you have. a uprated fuel pump is a must if you want to up the boost.
