Hey budi 0.8 max or you will mess up your engine possibly blow the turbo, if every thing stock as you said your injector's will not beable to keep up and detonation will occur

Management and W/M or race fuel. Dont think a stock headgasket will take much more then 1.2 so you looking at building the motor.

Upgrade,fuel pump walbro,turbo,water meth,management is the back bone of power upgrade,intercooler,gascet,dv,fpr, intectors, then you can boost 1.5bar on stock internals keep in mind this aint cheap if it your every day car, but car will pull dam strong.

Its R100 for a 5L of water meth mix,remeber the mix must be 50water/50meth by weight not by volume.well that all depends on you if you going to push your car into boost all the time your water meth will not last too long but if you boost now and then it will last relatively long depends on when you set the water meth to kick in.
