I want 1 bar, nothing more, nothing less, well at least at this point.
I've had my Power FC in my car for about 9 months and my car runs perfect. Just 2 days ago I recieved the commander for it. My goal at this point is to get 14-15 pounds of boost. According to my gauge I run 12 pounds and according to the commander I run .86 max. All I've done with the commander is moniter some things. From checking out the instructions this is clearly something not fool proof. I've been reading some of the post in this section of the forum and I have no clue what most people are talking about, but I'm sure I'm not supposed to know since I ve had it for two only days. My mods are listed below. Basically is this something I should try to figure out my self or just pay somebody to tune it on a dyno. I see maps already posted but none of them fit exactly to my needs, mainly because im still useing that state-of-the-art factory intercooler . Any suggestions from you commander piloting pros would be sweet, I'm ready for more power!!!!!

1 bar is to much boost for the stock IC....especially in FL
I wouldn't run anymore boost till you get a new IC. You might be ok during the winter since its cold but I wouldnt chance it.
Motors are more expensive than IC's so I'd just upgrade to a better IC

Won't Pettit sell you an ecu for 14 pounds of boost, which I think is the same as 1 bar or so, and pop in in with the stock intercooler and call it a day. I totally understand the stock intercooler is P.O.S. But I recall plenty of people running the twins at max with the stock one in place still. Maybe I'm wrong.

If you read Pettits disclaimer they want you to run race gas when over 12.5-13psi of boost. You CAN run more boost but its gray area and dangerous. There are people that do and there are also people with busted motors. I would run 14psi on the stock IC but thats just me, I wouldnt go over 13
