What do you mean you're not sure if it's 1.5 bars ? The turbo dial is 1 bar at the end of the white patch. If it's at 3 o'clock (past the white patch, that's about 1.5 bars then. True on with Pete said, it's not safe with the MBC + RICA. Get a proper boost gauge and lower it to 1.2 max
I ran 1.5 bar for literally months lol, good fun ain't it? Lol
it held at 1.2 before you found the leak.just wind the mbc back a bit..
bye bye rods, nice knowing you lol
stevie took the mbc off, its running a lot better now

Mine ran for 3 month at that presure befor it started knockig good fun while it lasted lol
The last t5 I owned was running 1.5 with garrett gt28 ,forged rods, tt etc and the bottom end didn't like it lol
My turbo needle used to go past the white but as far as I'm aware the car doesn't have a mbc fitted, just a Rica 280!? I do need to have a look at the turbo to see if any hoses are loose as I'm experiencing some boost issues at the moment so I'll follow all the pipes and see if there is a mbc hidden away.
