Higher bar = more boost = more power

Should I have a limit on that, if its too much bar, then I may ruin the turbo??

With a FWD, I would stick with 1.0 bar. You will be excessive torque steer.

If all TT's are FWD (until slip detected) won't they all have torque steer assuming no slip?

I never had bad torque steer. If I did(in the wet with bald tires), it is only for an instant.

Default Sean is getting a different diff for his car, so it will help minimize that.....

for normal driver(and Sean is far from 'normal') a 1.0 Bar for a FWD is just fine. :P
