    Mine took 1.5 bar without a problem lol, i don't know if the 18/19t are any stronger just they ard a little bigger are spool for longer in the higher range, i went for the ported 16t because i wanted the low down quick grunt and a smooth curve of power from then on, i had my perfect car till last week

    since having the 19t fitted i've only used the Apexi for monitoring because i'm unsure of the AFR & runs 10psi from the 19t actuator

    as FFM will tell you as well our 19t's boost up very well low down, easily on par with the 15g but the powere just keeps building & building till the redline
