OK my search in the archives turned up a nifty calculator for this, (http://www.savardsoftware.com/masterconverter/)
but I'm still not quite sure how to apply the information. Accoring to the calculator .7 bar = 10.152 psi. Is this correct? I thought stock boost on a 951 was more than that.

Using just a manual boost controller what is the maximum boost that one can safely (and I stress safely) achieve with no other mods at all? Stock chips, etc.

Sounds good - one bar is just bit over 14.5

Stock chips most you can safely run is 12-13 psi

My car was running 12psi bone stock (no engine mods at all)...about .8 bar + a little

Twinspool

1 bar = 14.7 psi

interestingly enough, stoichiometric fuel\air mix is 14.7:1

Twinspool - they are close but actually one atmosphere is slightly less than 14.7 pounds(14.696), while one bar is slightly more than 14.5 pounds (14.508).

Hmm, interesting, thanks for the correction.. Learn something new all the time.

FYI:
1 psi = 0.06895 bar
1 bar = 14.50326 psi
1 psi = 6.8948 KPa
