Well a standard car has nothing that beeps so as JGM says, must be some aftermarket boost controller or something.

1.6bar does seem very high! Is your car sorted to run that much?

resetting the ecu will erase all the learning it has done to try and compensate for the less ron fuel it is currently running on.. it needs setting up on uk fuel.
