jim airflow is a thought,,,,, but still if the boost is the same on a standard engine then surely its still gonna be safer than taking the car to a unknown mapper for a tweeked chip that MOST tuners seem to prefer ( or not tweeked if you ex montune )

factory ecu with a new intercooler,,,, flowing a little more ( doubt it will be LOADS more or its a shite i/c i guess )

reason i wonder is im running a mines ECU,,, its not even the right fueling technically and ive not melted the car yet,,,, so a factory ecu at the same boost,,, would that not be safer ?
