Thanks st-anger. That makes a lot of sense. When I first read 1.3 bar I thought that was relatively high. At least I knew it was in comparison to 930’s

.

Just curious even when set up “properly” with the modifications you mentioned (i.e. larger intercooler, cams and port & polishing ect.) will a turbo running 1.3 bar have less reliability and require more maintenance / replacement than a 996TT or GT2? I guess what I am asking is there a way to safely run higher boost pressures and not sacrifice reliability?
