too much boost?
I just had an uppipe and TBE installed this past weekend. Today, i finally got to push my car a little and i noticed that my boost gauge read a bit over 1 bar, so probably over 15psi i guess. My turbo is stock. Am i pushing the limits of my turbo a bit? Is this normal?

anything 16.5 psi or lower is fine if you have a catless uppipe, if not I wouldn't go over 14.5

How much is too much? Oil consumption that is.
