Default restrictor pill fitted !
As recomended by SilverSerfer and the guys at SRR at my last SES dyno day, I had checked to see if my car had the boost restrictor pill as it wasnt revving past 5500RPM.
It turns out, mine was missing. I couldnt find a 2mm one, so got a genuine 1mm one and drilled it out.
The car not only pulls to 7000RPM now, but the ECL I used to get when driving down hill has also disappeared !
