My manual with 1200 miles on it does not seem to get past 15# (1bar) boost in Sport mode, even in cold (40F) weather. I know RC's car has hit 1.2bar. Is anyone seeing 18# of boost?
After I broke mine in last week, I put mine in "sport" mode and saw 1.2 bars on several occasions. I noticed that there was always that "arrow" symbol to the right of the boost gauge too.
i saw 1.2 bar & arrow briefly a couple of times in 5th gear sport mode from about 3k>4k prior to completion of the break-in period...it dosen't seem to have a lot of real world benefit if you need to put the accelerator thru the floor board to activate it....adept driving requires more finese imo.

That is not normal, before I tuned the car I used to see 0.9 bar in standard mode and 1.2 bar in sport mode all the time and that with 91 octane gas. You should see 1.2 bar in all gears except 6th with open throttle and sport mode. If you are not seeing a difference in boost pressure between normal and sport mode, something is not right I think.
Try this: put the third gear in and FULLY accelerate in an open area (caution: speed limit will be exceeded in certain countries) with sport chrono activated. You should see 1.2 bar at some point in the mid rev range. If not, try the same with the second and fourth gear.
