TQC boosst level in bars

[smarinel@Flint.Mines.Colorado.edu (Steve Marinello)]

OK guys...I've been listening to this boost and bars stuff since I've been
on the net and I'm a little confused about my own vehicle at the moment. 
It's an '83 TQC that was a single entry vehicle, part Euro (suspension) but
SUPPOSEDLY American spec engine.  

Now, the question is the maximum boost that I should be seeing on the boost
gauge.  Is the norm boost on the TQC's 1.4 bar or is it 1.8?  Mine
registers 1.8-1.9 on full boost without any mods by me.  If it's supposed
to be at 1.4, does that mean that I'd have to have the stronger wastegate
spring that comes on the Euro model or with the IA mods?  Wonder about the
ECU setup?  Wonder about what HP this beast is actually putting out?!! 
Seat of the pants has always told me that it was better than 160, but not
necessarily by much.

Dave L...got any opinion?   This was just precipitated at lunch with a guy
who claims that the coupe should be putting out only 1.4 bars of boost.

Most importantly, wonder how this affects which mods I should spend my
money on...
