I run 1.3 bar on mine with Link ECU.Normal driving is 1.2 bar set on boost controller.I think 1.2 bar is safe enough.

One more thing,get yourself a detonation device like KnockLink before you run higher boost.

My previous MY96 ran about 14psi standard which tailed off to about 12psi through the rev range... current MY96 I dunno as I don't have a gauge (yet)

Thanks for the replys chaps my car is running around about 9.5 bar which is over 14 psi so thats cool, according to the SIDC pre 97 cars run 1 bar and 97+ cars run 0.9 bar.

Thanks again
