Default 0.5 psi increase, any difference?

I'm looking to up my boost by 0.5psi. Hell, maybe even bump it to 9.5psi.

I was thinking of getting the UTEC, but do you guys think the Unichip will be fully capable of keeping the engine safe? I am willing to take *some* risks

Furthermore, how much of an increase do you think I'd get? I know that psi is not the only thing in a tune, A/F and other things need to be adjusted as well.

Thanks! I'm looking to get around 420whp and anything over 400wtq is good.

Shouldn't be a problem, this is what Sam did with 8-8.5psi on a Emanage Ultimate and a GReddy TT kit with 550cc injectors and Tests pipes with Borla Exhaust

Awesome, I am really wanting to get the F-Con in the future so if this measly 420whp-ish power level can be attained safely with the Unichip then that would probably be my choice.

Thanks George!

No Problem, by the way my car made 420whp and 390 rwtq on the unichip on a conservative tune on 91 octane, tuned by no other than the mastermind himself, Sam

Good luck!

I'm running 10psi on the Unichip out-of-box tune. It's more than capable at those boost levels.

420/400 should be pretty easy, hell my car did 399/381 with 6.6psi. 7.5 psi would of been probably right around 420/400 on 91.
