Default Boost

Bought my rs a mouth ago, the bloke said it was chipped at 150bhp but was bought down to 132bhp for safer use for work, running 11.6psi 0.8bar this sound right?

Why would the owner pay money out to chip it to then turn the power back to where it was.

Only way to find out is to take the car to your local friendly tuner and have it set up. If they return it with a nice 15psi of boost you know the bugger is chipped
