Manual says to set it up at .78BAR.  When I was setting mine up it started off way too low and then I over compensated it and was running at 1.2 bar.  Spun the wheels changing into second!  Not sure that I would want to run it at 1.2 for long though.

a 200tdi will run 1 bar all day long on a std intercooler without popping any headgaskets,

if you've got a full width cooler you can run abit higher without problems

but i run 1 bar with mine, with full width cooler, 5k so far no probs  :roll:

do run abit higher when offroading when ino im goin need abit more oomphh but drop it back down for road work

My 300 (don't know for sure if the 200 is the same) has the boost gauge running straight out of the waste-gate outlet at the main turbo outlet.  This is due to me moving the waste-gate pipe to the unused hole at the rear of the plenum chamber so that the gate opens when there is 1.2 bar at the valves, not just the turbo outlet.  Made quite a difference to mine........
