    Slow boost rise...?

    The last videos i made and the last few times that i had a go with my car,i noticed that boost rise is different,and i wonder if i should start looking for leaks or something...

    It used to go right up to 1.9 to 2bar boost early on and then settle down to 1.7ish
    now it seems to go to 1.6bar on spool,then creep up to 1.7 or 1.8bar.

    The creeping could be explained by the fact that i have the wastegate spring somewhat wound a bit.

    Is it possible to have a leak and the boost go up to the normal steady levels only due to the wastegate spring?

    Other than that,the cars feels the same,no fault codes either and no heisitation or hissing sounds...

    Could this be just another ECU adaptation to the fact that i have been driving casualy for long?
