Just an update, was out on Saturday and the boost blew one of the front boost pipes off the FMIC  :shocked:
So got home and refitted it all again (bumper off job) in all fairness the jubilee was slightly twisted, so replaced and all seems well again....

I just want to double check the boost is ok, so is there anything I can do to see if its over boosting?

1.7 Bar just seems ridiculous and I don't want the turbo or something else going bang after spending time and money sorting it

1.7bar seems a lot

VCDS logging specified vs actual boost would probably show a clearer picture. Is it spiking to 1.7bar or holding?

Have you spoken to Nick @ Carbon??  He will be able to give you the answer as to what its requesting  :smiley:

If its a new turbo if may have a couple of turns too many on the actuator  :undecided:
