Question does not all ways make full boost

is this down to the weather?

car is set to make 1.5 bar, and it does, sometimes a little more, but other days it will only make 1.3 bar, and after a hard drive it will increase with each flooring from 1.3 to 1.35 to 1.4 to 1.45.

car is all ways fullyed warmed up beforehand.

what could cause this, or is it just the warmer weather?

temp at the filter was around 22 deg, and inlet temp war around 30 deg when giving it some

I get this when I look back at peak boost values. Think it is dependant on a few things ACT being one of them.

apexi avcr.

went to tesco today, and it was making 1.3 bar ish, on the way back it made what it should 1.5 bar in 4th, but only 1.35 in 2nd/3rd.

then it rained, then it was making 1.5 bar in 3rd and as least 1.45 in second, but could not really tell in second as was getting wheel spin.

so at a guess i think it is down to the weather, and needing a good thrash now and then

I find that my boost is never constant either - it can be 1 bar one run and then you stop to fill it up and go for a run again and its missing -.1 bar somewhere, but if its close to the set parameters then i dont think its really a problem.
