Cheapest option is to have a tuner set it up for you on what you have as the 355s are virtually no different to standard.

Sadly, the answer to this question is complex and not at all possible in one line, but the nutshell is simple, the top line in teh fuel map is mapped for the amount of boost you plan to run. If its mapped for say, 20, it will still access it at 14.7 and be slightly rich until teh boost reaches 20.

Its no different to running 38psi on a 3bar map sensor.

Incidentally, if you run a 3bar map sensor on a std 2bar mapped chip, say goodbye to your pistons in teh very near future.

I am not using a 3 bar (i want too)

Still want 290/310 bhp but don't want 803's

On my 355 set uses a 2 bar map which is (old skool) after 14.5 psi it runs rich untill top boost is reached 18/20 psi i want it more accurate .
