Yes Scott is right. Originally I was told by powerstation the car was mapped to 1.35bar. But after re speaking to them. It turns out the car is mapped (tweeked ) to tail off. So no leaks in my system. Just screaming for a decent map.

unless you have a lager after-market turbo (and even then not guaranteed) you will always see a tail off in the higher revs............
