You could up it to 1 bar with std cooler with correct fueling and ignition timing. (a set up)

try www.grsmotorsport.co.uk

and http://www.proalloy.co.uk/

have to recommend a pro-alloy front mount cooler over a GRS. the GRS i/c's are flawless in performance i just think the pro-alloys are better being single pass....

read up on both before you commit yourself.

GRS Intercoolers are Ł265 (according to Graham's site)

As for most boost... I have seen 2.2 bar successfully thrown at a GRS, great intercoolers
