No it doesn't... but would you not agree the standard turbo would struggle to cope with that much boost and could be killing my power?

As i have said above we would map 1.3-1.35 bar area.
If a restrictor pill has been changed, actuator adjusted or vaccum pipework from turbo to solinoid changed for a incorrect diameter then can cause a higher boost then was mapped for? Do you not agree????
Therefore once again assumtion car is now exactly as it was then.
Have you emailed bob on the situation and asked his opinion and givin the reg to find out his notes on car re mods/fuel/exhaust boost etc??

I have checked all the things you mentioned Dave and as far as I can see all is OEM and hasn't been replaced or adjusted... as I agree any of these things could have affected the boost. I spoke to Bob a while back as I changed the exhaust back to a standard system and he assured me it would have no other affect then possibly reducing the boost. So as far as I can tell nothing has been altered... other than me swapping the exhaust out... that would cause the high boost. I then spoke to him after the RR day and explained I wans't happy with the map and infairness he offered to reflash it back to standard settings as I explained it's a commuting car now and not in need of any power mods. The only issue with me sending him the ECU is he can't cofirm when he'll be able to map it... as he'd need another V6 UK customers car to put it in to re-flash so I could be without out it for a few weeks... therefore I'm chasing another option at the moment for sending it off to be re-flashed that should hopefully get done in a faster turnaround time and not leave me car-less for too long.
