Default Need help with boost

Hi i am new to all of this. I have owned a few non turbo imprezas befor and have now got a 1999 wrx uk spec. it runs well and goes ok but only seems to boost to 0.7 bar.

i wanted to know what boost i can run on the engine which would be safe ( wont blow up engine) but also give it more poke.
