Default my car is holding 1.78 to 1.80 bar in 4th to 5500rpm ??

should i be worried

it peaks at 1.87 to 1.88


and holds 1.79 and today was holding 1.80bar in 4th and 5th


should i be worried or not


tbh i was a bit unhappy at my rev limit so new injectors are deffo needed


but at that boost should i worry

was set at 25 psi to hold, just wonderin if its gained boost or not


seems a logical thing to ask


i know stu was gonna turn it down asn the cams and turbo on me car make the injectors run lean after 6000rpm in 4tha dn 5th


just wondering if its normal to fluctuate


im gonna unplug the gauges as all they do is worry me, i should be looking at the road anyway
