According to my gauage I am getting 0.9 bar (standard?). Will adjusting the PRV increase the boost or is it the chip thats determining the boost level. I was looking to go to 1.1 bar. If it can be adjusted to do this, question is how? what needs adjusting on the prv. Pics would be usefull Cheers

Undoing the screw reduces boost, and screwing the PRV in increases the boost..this info taken from here Before doing this however I would highly recommend you get your car health checked and rolling roaded to make sure your fueling is okay and can handle the extra boost $;\)$ Ex 20VT - now something far more sensible'ish...
