Look to have it peaking at about 1.5 bar and tailing off. Keeps it safe!

All depends what chip u have in it, you dont want it going higher than what its set for or it'll lean out on high boost and rebuild time!!!

But most stage 3s as said are usually about 1.5bar peak boost, but get it checked out
