1bar imho is too much on mineral oil.. not that iirc Tims is on mineral.. but just need to be careful as lots of people differ on opinion to running in and oil to use etc... also 1bar on a td05 16g is a lot different to 1bar on a gt35r etc.,. if it is mapped to that then that is different.. Tim's has been mapped with 0miles on it to low boost and checked the fuelling and timing is correct should he accidentally boost it but it should be kept at low boost, minimum boost possible.

if you needed 0.5bar or 1bar to run an engine in.. then I best go strap a turbo to my wifes Zafira as obviously with 80k miles on the clock it has never seen over 0bar as it is NA and clearly not run in.. there is a lot of stuff spouted and sometimes it is said in a way that makes sense but clearly when you look at it at face value is crap.

A lot of Evo engine builders say drive it on boost straight away and for as much as possible... errrmmm... then like the guy on mlr that lost an engine as he hadn't tightenned the oil cooler pipe.. had he run it in normally I suspect he would have saw the smoke rather than the oil gauge at 0.

only what i was told to do
oil at 250 not being mineral oil . boost was on then straight off and only now and then . different engine builders , different set ups as long as it runs on the day and gives what is wanted who gives a **** !
