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.

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.
