Today I went and had my car checked with vag com, and the 17963 code came up charge pressure maximum limit exceeded. The mechanic did the readings and blocks and said the boost was peeking at 21 psi and holding at about 16 - 18 (I think), and he said there was no boost leeks, and therefore he thought the problem with the lack of full power was to do with the stock intercooler not being able to handle the high boost settings that were done on the remap, which would make the car go into safety mode so it didn't over heat, he seemed to think the boost levels were nearing the stage 2 performance, and couldn't believe it when I said it was down on power, and he suggested I get a new FMIC. I phoned up R-tech who did the remap and they told me that they have a mk4 golf like mine running at 220 bhp on the stock intercooler.
So was I just being tried to be sold a new intercooler? any other suggestions that I could try to get the power back
