So I had this happen yesterday... floored it in 2nd, car climbed to 2.4bar gauge (which tends to read 0.05bar over) which provoked a slight boost cut back to about 2bar, and then it was normal. Again in 3rd, I was seeing 2.3bar gauge - no boost cut but monsterous torque, it bled boost off to a normal 1.8bar at 6000rpm. So, floored it in 4th and it pinged to 2.2bar gauge and felt smooth as ever.
The only thing I can think is that I had noticed my boost gauge slow to respond, though max was 2.1bar as per mapping. I found the hose from the back of the IM slightly kinked. I replaced it before the above 'test drive'... also it was 6deg outside, coldest I've had it in since mapping, wondered if that could account.
Since then, I am seeing 2.2bar solid in 2nd+ and the car feels completely normal - no miss, cut, pretty much as before.
Anything I should be concerned about or could this be explained by the ECU re-adapting now it has no delay in getting boost?
