1.1 bar is about the limit on a standard bottom end. It will definately take more but the extra boost puts more strain on the big ends which can end up expensive!!

It all depends on your supporting mods. My sister's 95 WRX is running just over 1.5 bar on a standard engine & turbo but it has 440cc injectors, Z32, power FC & AVCR, FMIC etc it's been mapped for that.
I've lost count of how many times it's been mapped and how many hours Rich has spent mapping it and tweaking it
