Default Read the archives. This is in there 50 times, at least!

Stock boost is .7 bar.

No one is sure yet what the effects of chipped torque on the Tip is. There's lots of theories, lots of grandstanding in discussions on it. There are only two facts:

1) Its absolutely not rated for that kind of torque
2) People are doing it, and not having problems, so far.

The likelyhood is that the transmission will just experience greater wear and tear and will fail earlier than it would otherwise, but not immediately.
