I would say 18psi is a tad too high, assuming you want to play it safe of course.

Could be wrong of course...... i understand that a standard Uk turbo (early model) should run at 9 psi.

what do you call an 'early' model - the uk 98 runs at .9 BAR, not 9 psi..... (as standard), but fuel cut is well below 18psi, more like 16-17. (1.1-1.2 bar)

I believe 1.25 bar is the safe limit before you have to start thinking about making some heavy upgrade mods.

I may be wrong
