Default RS TURBO BOOST

I HAVEN JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST RS TURBO SERIES 2 ITS RUNNING A COSSIE ACTUATOR(WELL ITS BLUE AND A LOT BIGGER THAN THE STANDARD FORD ITEM) THE CAR DOES NOT SMOKE OR RATTLE
I DONT THINK ITS CHIPPED THE BOOST GAUGE SAYS THAT ITS RUNNING
1 BAR OF BOOST IS THIS SAFE FOR THE ENGINE OR IS IT WORTH TURNING IT DOWN IT DOSENT OVERBOOST AT ALL IT PULLS REALLY NICE
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT [/img]

the car will be chipped m8 the standard ecu can only run arround 10Psi of boost before it cuts the ignition.
The actuator you have is a big collins one.. IMO they are crap compared with a propper -31 but lots of people still use them,
! bar of boost is likely to be perfectly ok on your car HOWEVER the ke-jetronic fueling system willnot fuel correctlky for anything other than standard boost without modification.
becuae the car runs a bit rich from the factory then it is likely that 14Psi will be fine... BUT for piece of mind i would get the cars on boost fueling checked and/or the ke system modified accordingly
