Mines ECU - Boost question

[Heyrick]

Hi all,

 

As per this thread...

 

http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?253010-Unexpected-find-Mines-ECU

 

... I found I had a Mines ECU fitted. I sent to Mines to ask about the spec and received the following:

 

>>Dear Mr. White,

 

The basic specs of the ecu is

 

Fuel mapping has been optimized

Injection and ignition timing adjusted

Speed limiter has been cut

Rev limiter has been raised 500 rpms

Designed to run on 100 RON(at the least 98 RON) rating octane gasoline

Boost set on the ecu at 1.0kg (set at a safe level. Possible to boost higher depending on the circumstances, but boost at your own risk.)

 

 

Best Regards,

Questions:

 

1. I am guessing 1.0kg = 1bar? Can someone confirm?

2. Will it fuel cut over 1.0kg boost? not sure what he meant by "depending on the circumstances"?

 

I'm stock Jspec TT apart from 2nd decat at the moment but hoping to go for a modest BPU soon.

 

Thanks for your help!

1kg = 1bar yes

It won't fuel cut over 1 bar, what they mean is that you can increase the boost to a higher level if you choose but it's at your own risk.
