Default 1.4 BAR BOOST?!?!?

Hey there,

The car's been happy at 1.2/1.3bar of boost with a very safe map (over fueling like a trooper) however I hit 1.4 bar last night and not too happy about it.....

I've got a VF34 turbo, bigger injectors, uprated fuel pump etc and getting it re-mapped in march but just not happy with the 1.4 bar.....

Any suggestions?
(apart from not booting it)

you need to get it mapped as otherwise the present map is not going to be able to deal with 1.4 bar with at worst engine failure

1.4 bar on a "very safe map" isn't anything to worry about, provided it's not being held right to 7k rpm.
