Default To map or not to map.... what do i do?

Hi all,

I've got a small company with a friend making megasquirt based ecu's, im no mapper and generally we don't map things, however a guy has bought an ecu from us and really doesn't have a clue, so as a favor i said i would map it.

I always map my own cars and im confident of the safe job i will do... It will be live mapped with our own det cans and new LM-1...

However, mortally im not sure if/how to go about this... he's 18 and has built a 2.0 zetec turbo, its in a mk4 escort... its still insured as a 1.4 and i know he has no intentions of properly insuring it

Its a well spec'd engine, and capable of an easy 270-280bhp, but i really don't know if i should set it up for this?

Should I just do what he wants (he is the customer) or should I turn down the boost and make some excuse.... I really don't want him to kill him self or some one else.

Also, i guess im liable to some extent?

Has any one been in this situation before who could offer some advise.

Thanks a lot!
