I was wondering if anyone can help us out here?
When I'm going along in 5th around 70mph everything fine but when i floor it I can see the boost reaching 1 bar (boost gauge fitted) then the car jerk me fowards like its losing the power.
Sometimes the boost is fine but every now and again this is happening (it'll look do-do if i was racing and dangerous) What the F(_)ck going on ? :eek:

This is happening to my mate..he can't go fast in 4th or 5th as it seems to make the overboost protection come in, but will initially hold 14/16psi as it's chipped.
We thought the chip removed the over boost protection, but even after being chipped it still does it..

It does sound like your car is hitting over boost protection to me, i'm no expert, so try turning your boost down a little.

It does hold the boost normally but occasionally it overboosts so... HELP :oooh:
