I've upped the boost by 3% using vtune on my APR map, the car is flying. My max boost is showing as 1.540 bar using Vag com. I Know that the Map sensor doesn't recognise boost levels above this.
What is the actual level of overboost that will send an LCR into over boost.
I have searched but can't seem to find exact boost levels.

I had APR stage 1 on my LCR about 4 months after I got it from new. At the time, the only mod was a Forge 007 DV - everything else was standard.

It was constantly going into limp mode... wasn't much fun to drive :(

Had it flashed back to stock in the end, been fine ever since.

if my maths is right 1.54bar is about 22.5psi....

On my LC i hit limp mode at 23/23psi ish (usually happened when i didn't have laptop plugged in, so can only guesstimate from gauge, which isnt that accurate) but you wouldn't want any more boost than that mate - perhaps 0.5psi more and you'll be on the very limits i think...
