I also ran 1.45bar on a UK2000 96 plate, usual exhaust/filter mods on TD05 16g, car had done over 100k and it was a great drive, engine lasted fine but i serviced regularly.

Not at all uncommon for classic UK turbos on std internals to run 1.4/1.5bar when fitted with an uprated turbo. Tuned well with appropriate supporting mods and looked after properly and they'll do that all day.
I had a MY99 with a VF35, FMIC, induction, exhaust, headers, fuel pump, Simtek etc.. Made best part of 350 of each. Never missed a beat.
That was when they gave the UK cars proper pistons as standard!
