You're pretty much right in what you say. You will definately need to keep the boost RIGHT DOWN with the standard pistons or else you will quickly run into detonation that WILL melt the pistons. A way round this is to have the head modified before you fit it to decrease the compression ratio.
The Metro ECU is a waste of time, junk it.

Have a good read through past posts in this forum and you will find out all you need to know.
