(corrected for truth)

A 20g should be able to handle quite a bit. But we all know, if you insert more air, you have to balance the other side of the equation and put more fuel in (and control timing etc).

I really wouldnt reccomend just upping the boost with out proper management. Dont rely on boost cut/fuel. Damage could have already been done well in advance! Get you hands on a knock amp if you serious. Consider the life of the motor - are you getting much blow by? If you are change oil and maybe turn the boost down?

Link is poo IMO. All they do is insert more fuel - poor timing control. Autronics are awesome! But id go PowerFC on a converted L. Cheap, easy to tune with, easy to move on when finished with.

Lastly - I dont tune my cars. I dont mess with any boost levels etc. I get a workshop (ASG) to sort it for me. Piece of mind - costs up front, but avoids engine builds.

/rant off

Awaits burning

I don't know anything about powerfc but I was very impressed with the functions and tuning on the new versions of the unichip. I take a serious look at them if your after a management device.

The PowerFC to suit early RS loom is unfortunately no longer manufactured, however you can still get them when they are sold secondhand etc. They seem to range from $800 to about $1200 (800 being absolutely insanely cheap).
They used to cost about $1250 new I think.
