about 1.2 bar (18psi) on a superchips plug in jobby, and a magnex full decat system which made a hell of a difference..

I ran 18psi max when mine was a small turbo with an Ahmed chip & uprated fuel pump. Two well known tuners told me no more than that.

Take it to a tuner mate, set the boost slightly lower than 18psi, then when you take it to a respectable tuner they can fiddle with whatever settings they want and set the boost to the correct levels for you!
