Default just been to mad

Well set off at 4.30 to get down to mark for some mapping on the focus with new turbo and inlet. All going well he had loads of mid range boost but soon as the car reaches 5.5k revs boost was dropping off to 1bar instead of the 2bar it was at. Mark managed to get it to hold 1.2bar but that's it lol car feels so quick till 5k then its like hitting a fookin brick wall grrrr.
Mark thinks the turbo has been specced wrong i.e its got a to big compressor wheel compared to exhaust side. So back to the drawing board lol

just like to say thanks to mark top bloke and very helpful in explaining what the problem is etc.
