I am not sure what NINJA is referring to when he says use EGT and AFR? This is good advice, but as you are having a Unichip fitted then the tuner should sort this for you - if he doesn't then he should be shot!
Clearly 1.9bar is barmy - but 1.3 should be very acceptable - however with the Unichip you may want to set it slightly lower as the boost can wander about a bit, especially if the car gets hot on track. It also depends on your boost control strategy.
