1BAR = 14.5 psi
Standard atmospheric pressure =14.7 ie 1 atmos.
You will hit a fuel cut somewhere around 1.1 bar, not sure of the exact figure for your model. Lots of people run 1.2/1.25 bar and seem to have no problem. Others run 1.4-1.5 bar.
If you are uping the boost what about the fuel requirement?
Best to have a Knock Link and AFR guage to check the system over before and after or get someone to do the checks with a wide band lambda.
