Default Max boost on standard comp 1.8 ZVH

As per title.

I'm currently running 0.45 bar boost (yes I know, it's less than standard) because I have FRST management and boost limit is very tight on this.

I'm getting a Superchip next week with beige injectors (boost limit 1.3 bar)

I want to be running on 0.7 aprox.

I am currently running 193 BHP flywheel and I want to go to 210/215

Any body tried it before?

If its a 1.8 ZVH on the standard 1.8 Zetec pistons (skimmed or not?) then around 1 bar is the most people generally accept as not going toooo far.

So 0.7 bar should be no probs!!

Pistons are not skimmed, cause they're stronger that way.

So 0.7 bar isn't a problem then, good to know .

Cheers guys
