Default 1.8T "SAFE BOOST"

I have a 2000 A4 (everything engine wise is stock) and want to put a split second boost controller in and am wondering how much I can safley boost it to? Would 14 psi be way too much? How much does a typical chip put out? (apr, giac, revo, ect.)

Default Stock air/fuel/timing with higher boost? Like getting a BJ from a dirty hooker without a rubber.

It might feel good while it's happening, but it always comes back to get you in the end.

Default What psi would be safe? I still dont know!

On a stock 00 a4 how much boost would be ok without doing damage? What does a typical chip boost to usually?

Default Chip boost

I was checking out revo and on the software they use the timing is the same on 91 pumped gas it is only advanced when you use a higher octane fuel. Now bumping the car to around 14 psi on a stock, 91 pumped fuel would it be just a really bad idea? Because abd makes a pretty apealling product for the 1.8t if it does what it says.
