get rid of the bleed valve, open the ecu and the chip will have a serial number on it if its a decent chip.

ring the company of the chip quoting the serial number and they will tell you the parameters

personally, i would just get it set up with a fueling check to be 100% sure its correct, otherwise you'll end up melting your engine

It's impossible to say, there isn't simply a generic figure. It depends entirely on your setup/mapping etc, best way is to get a RR session booked and make sure you are safe!
