i have been told that the motor will support 1bar safely, but that was from 4x4 excelence and i have been told to take there advice with a grain of salt

As far as I know, there is only 1 timing belt, mine is due in 40,000km....

There are two belts: timing belt, plus balance belt... while you're in there, I'd do tensioners (2) and check those oil seals for leakage. Water pump would also be a good idea, as well as accessory belts. Cost me about $400 for the parts, but I did it myself. And my money is different from yours...

From the factory, it boosts up to 12 psi. Not sure what it can take...
