Im pretty sure its 7 psi 1/2 a bar standard, you will hit the boost limiter at 10psi unless youve got a hearts and diamond ecu then its 12psi but you wont have one of these on a series 1 unless its been changed

You should retain your S1 ECU, the majority of series 2 ecu's also need a knock sensor and a temperature sensor to work PROPERLY, it will work but not as it should.

If your planing on turning the boost up then it needs to be done by a tuner as you need the fuel done too or you will melt things
