AGU = You can turn the boost up to about 10-12 psi and the fuel and timing be safe as the fuel and timing is based on air drawn via the maf.
AZR AUM AUQ = You cannot turn up boost, you will get throttle cut and N249 cut, if you could turn it up I would be fine running 14psi on the stock mapping but its how you get the throttle to stay open and how to stop a hard cut limp mode.

You are correct as most people would try and wack the boost right up then hit limp mode or cause issues realtedn to fuel and ignition which can melt a tip of a spark plug, but keeping the added boost within reason should be fine on AGU, as the limp comes in when the maf reading kg/hr exceeds the limited amount in the map.
Its fun trying it on an AUM as the more boost you add the less the throttle opens....

Dood advice I think :wink:
I'd leave it to the pro's of the 1.8t tuning world - you get a lot of map AND security for your money :wink:
