Default S2 not holding boost

I`m after some more help

My car currently peaks at 1 bar but drops down to 0.8bar is this normal?The car will be going to get set up soon and i dont want to drive all the way up there and for the tuner to say that i need a new actuator or something.

Thanks in advance

Standard S2 are normally only 7/8 psi. Is yours chipped? If so it could be the actuator gone a bit soft. Hope this helps.

max boost unchipped 10psi, but heard story's of higher and supposed to be std,
your boost 1,bar then drops to o.8, in psi14.50 and 11.6psi, is about right 2.9psi,
but if running higher boost if actuator going soft u would see more of a drop, if u are using the amal valve still, disconnect wiring plug just for a test and see what boost is showing , this is the actuator pressure only,
std about 4psi, and the amal valve bleeds it off (up)

Dave,
