Default OVERBOOSTING FOCUS RS -

noticed whilst on way into work this morning the car seems to be overboosting? all the way up to the red when i hardly touch the accelarator?

Dont know if its connected but it took three attempts to start the car the other day too, it has been fine since but i have been keeping my eye on things.

Car has bluefin manifold and decat the usual - next on the list is the boost controlled but its not gonna be for some time as i have just bought a house.

Im going to keep my eye on things and try to take it steady for the time being

Anyone got any ideas or suggestions as to probably cause - its been fine since ive had it so it may just be a one off?

Thanks

P.s - only had the car just over a week - hope this isnt a sign of things to come

Don't know much about the FRS sorry, but what readings has it got on the boost gauge,as in boost??????

Does the engine actually cut out when it overboosts?????

Would have thought the standard gauge would'nt be to good once the car has had the Bluefin,because the boost will be higher than standard
