On standard engine internals is 21 psi boost with a good map safe ?

yep should be fine on the standard turbo, so long as its not a massively aggressive spike (bendy rods)

why, what map you got in mind?

The car is already running 21 psi boost , seems quite smooth boost delivery , apparently k04 set up still not 100 % sure on that though ! got a power graph for 253 bhp , mapped by jabbasport

thanks james

210 and 225 are both the same turbos I believe, but just mapped differently

you drive an LCR yes? and which version, 210 or 225?

either way, 21psi is fine

ah right, got ya mate

as said, 21psi is fine, and if it has been mapped by Jabba then it will be progressive and not aggressive which will be fine on the rods
