If its a std chip and you wind the boost up you WILL loose the engine, so i wouldn't go any further.

And yes the fuel pressure at 2.5 bar is way low. Another engine failure in the waiting.
Agree with you , a sure fire way to melt a piston is to over boost a standard set up. That is what the previous owner did to my 2wd Saff when I first bought it and ruined the engine.
