Default GIAC BOOST controller

Hey along with the 5 prgrams on my GIAC ecu, there is a boost controller option on the righ hand side. Could someone please explain exactly how it works? I don't understand the values to begin with, as they are three digits. Mine is somewhere in the 200's I think without haveing it on in front of me. Also is this a safe feature? CAn you safely raise boost with it? Would it cause a lean condition because your not adding fueling?
thanks

Default yes you can safely run an infinite amount of boost

if you have an infinite amount of money to buy new motors and K04s

Default So it is only if I have rs4 turbos? Won't work at all w/ K03's?If it can...

What would the highest boost to run "safely" on a stock engine? Also can someone explain the increments?

Default I did read the whole 1 page manual and saw no mention of KO3's...

does that mean it doesn't work with them or does it mean theres another manual somewhere else. Also saying, "a higher or lower value will change the boost levels throughout the entire rpm range" doesn't exactly tell me how those increments convert to usable units(bar or psi).

Default no, you'll have to risk "playing" with the values and take it easy till you find what you want......

but only if you have the portion of the software... which you dont because AWE didnt tune your car

Default I mean it appears on my flashloader. Are you say its disabled til AWE actually activates it?

Even knowing what the min and max values are in psi would be extremely helpful.

it isnt "disabled" because it isnt included in your chip
