Just a curious question my boost peaks about 17psi but drops off below 15 in some gears is this normal or have I got a issue somewhere cheers

If you have a GTI, have you had your Diverter Valve replaced?
These are a common item to fail on the mk5, particularly the standard GTI due to its' placement right next to the turbo.

Yes it's a mk5 gti owned it for about 8-9 months now I've had a few problems with it but just doesn't feel as quick as it used to i havnt had the diverter changed according to the guy I bought it off it's got a forge one on it never had time to look at it....you think that will be the problem tho??

has it been remapped?

Oh I see Yh it's running about 270bhp-ish never had it on a dyno but one of my mates has a 61plate s3 and I more or less sit beside him all the way :happy2:

Wow, that's impressive can't exactly knock the Blu fin for that, I want to fit a boost gauge to mine so I can see what's going on but don't know which one to get??

Nah I'm hoping with a decent map I'll get a lil more but will just be better Rev range with right fueling etc...mines a new South performance gauge with vent pod come with the car but I'm sure you can get them from awesome gti :happy2:

That's the gauge I'm thinking of getting in the drivers vent, do you know if awesome sell them as a whole set up kit? Cheers

I didn't have to fit mine because it was already on the car when I bought it but it shouldn't be too hard!
