Red face 0.5 bar only!! after oil change. Why??

I installed a set of Autothority chips I got from Ebay. When I first put them in, WOW my Ruf boost guage indicated almost 1.0 or at least 0.9 consistently when I punched it.

I went away for a month, it drove Ok on the highway. I did an oil change on wednesday then last night suddenly the highest reading I could get was 0.5 bar. The dash guage reads a bit higher but the car still feels sluggish. I notices a lot of oil in the intercooler pipes and throttle body. But no evidence of oil leak or burning. I read in another thread about poor connections in the KLR box. I have not checked that yet. I was wondering if anyone had any advice.
There does not appear to be any vacuum leaks otherwise it would show and the RUF boost guage.
I have notice some occassional sputtering from the exhaust, like a baby 930. I like it.

Check that the oil preasure sender wires are connected, might have bumped them when you changed the filter.

I may have overfilled it a bit.

I will check the connections.

Thanks.
