Thats because you're foolish how did you get 170+ rep saying stuff like that.
This thread is a mess of advice imo.
First thing i will say don't touch the car and get in contact with you local CAB office for some decent advice about sorting out your money and transaction with the tuner.
Once the people at the CAB office have told you it's ok to start sorting the car you'll need too.
Turn down your boost i would go right back down to standard and work from there.
Now 1.5bar will not do anything to you pistons on a ct9 if the fueling is correct, but seing as this guy didn't seem to know what he was doing the fueling could have been out, so compression test it to find out.
You shouldn't run more than 0.8bar on a standard mani. Ignore people that say "i've been running 1bar for xx months/years and not had any problems". The problem is the restriction in it causes heat to build up in no.3, it will run hotter and burn your piston rings. The problem come with people think that you turn it up to 1bar it doesn't go bang straight away it must be ok. The truth is it can take years to start being a problem when no.3 has low compression.
Now i would say your turbo is knackered sounds like turning it up 1.5bar killed it. The jump in boost is probably the bearing are broked. As adviced a second hand unit is your best bet or rebuild or hybrid depending on £££.
Sounds like alot of the stuff is right on the car and will just than need setting up propery with all the correct supporting mods.

Thats a real good way to deal with it mate, why do you think you can call me a moron just for my opinion. I have been told by good tuners who know what they are doing that 1Bar is ok for stock manifold obviously depends on your setup and how fuelling is set. They said if the car is tuned a bit rich then the engine should be fine so I was just passing the information on.
If you want to get technically about it the stock manifold hould be ran at stock boost as that is the way the car was designed, if they thought you could run more then they would have put more boost in there.
There are plenty of people running that boost with no problems mate so I really dont see your point, me being one of them. I have all supporting mods to go with my setup and agree @1.2bar stock manifold aint a good idea hence why I bought an aftermarket one.
As for your comment towards me and my rep, I got my rep and Super Moderator title for helping people out on the forum, so please dont patronise me.
If you would like to continue acting like a immature child and posting comments like that you can do so via pm to myself, any other comments will be deleted.
Thanks Christy

As Christy has stated please keep the name-calling out of this thread. The advice is appreciated but the attitude isn't. (EDIT: thank you for the re-edit of your initial post)
There's a lot of fiction out there so don't believe everything you all read. I haven't had a good scan through this thread but please keep it on topic.

This will no doubt get deleted but anyway.
After reading my own post back to myself i change it to say foolish before you even replied as i decided it was indeed wrong to say that and i'll admitt that and offer you an apology. Foolish decribes it much better as it's a foolish idea to run the standard mani and that's fair. To do a set up to fuel it enough to sort out no.3 effectively you would have put an egt sensor in the 3rd runner and you'll probably be so rich you're not make as much power as you could. at 0.8bar.

Thanks for the apologise mate. Dont get me wrong I completely understand what you mean its all dependant on the car and the tune as is everything. I didnt choose to set mine up this way I got mine from Japan like this and hence why im sorting mine out with mani and decat and I already have a Jam ECU which is running rich to help protect my engine.
From my experience and a few tuners who I would trust plenty of starlets have been tuned to 1bar on stock mani and it was fine so I still stand by my opinion but understand yours also if you know what I mean.haha.
Thanks Christy

stock manifold and turbo are good for 1.1bar all day long as long as you have the supporting mods and a good tune..
how did the guy set up your fueling? personally if it were me i wouldnt want to buy it if its had 1.5bar going through a stock engine, even if it runs fine after a new turbo and boost turned down, the pistons may have seen some damage that wont show until later down the line.. how do you know the ringlands havent started to crack? its debatable to wether the stock pistons can handle 1.5bar, but this mechanic sounds like a twat so i wouldnt be surprised if the tune wasnt up to scratch either..

1.5 bar on a standard CT9=TOO MUCH HEAT, end of.......
Ask where he got his info to run that boost on what is basically a small, quite fragile turbo??
