After reading the following I was a bit concerned:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>0.7 bar (10psi) Max boost on the standard ECU is 0.9 bar (13psi) Anymore than this level and the ECU will cut power protecting the engine. 13psi is a safe operating level for the auto transmission, i would think about installing a transmission cooler if u are lifting the boost from stock as the raidiator cooler is crap. More boost can be made if the ECU is changed to an aftermarket one (u can reset the boost limit).

Am I missing something or does the vr4 come stock at 10 psi and the max is 13psi on stock internals. If this is true then its really no point to upgrade BOV, boost controller, fmic etc until the internals are taken care of first.
I could not imagine the 6a13 makes estimated 280ish bhp off of 10psi then again the max is 13 please someone set my facts straight.
