That's a great number to go with! ;) :icon_flow

Don't turn the boost up. And if you change any engine efficiency... get it re-tuned.

Hahaha! Turning up the boost without a boost gauge?? lol,

Get a boost gauge first, see what boost your running on at the moment.

are you sure its a bugeye and not GC8?

He hasn't updated his profile pic, he sold the GC8 the other week and has recently purchased a bugeye :)

So the general consensus is that 2 Bar is fine, my Bug STi is running 1.5 Bar with the td06, needs a retune soon, considering pushing it up to 2 Bar.

I would say so but speak with your tuner if he is ok with it,
Im at 1.7bars atm been like that for over 4 years, using my STI as a daily again max boost is 0-5 psi lol driving like a granny ftw :)
