30 psi? 2 bar? hope its been fully rebuilt to run that. 24 psi is pretty high for a standard engine (1.6bar is)
standard uk engine you prob dont wanna go too much higher than 1.4bar peak circa 20, anything higher than that and your pushing it.

Just over 2bar? He must be running a serious set-up.
Things to consider Ant; Turbo and more importantly fuelling. I'm not familiar with what the UK's run as standard.

Have to say i assumed it was being mapped, as said don't just up the boost without getting it sorted properly

Mine eventually seemed tired after running >2 bar for the last year, a big blower is easier to map safely than a tidgy one at breaking point...

Re-born as a 2.1 with some extras...
Meanwhile as a cyclist,
