In these conditions I hit 1.2 bar.
I think it was the wastegate. Did you have the stock one replaced?

I bought the car used with the chip already installed. As far as I can tell the wastegate is stock, however, I do have the billet divertor valves installed from Evo. I hit 1.2 bar under full acceleration and close to redline so I would not say I "sustain" it. By the time I see 1.2 bar I am at redline and shifting. Under brisk accelleration, I usually see 1.0 bar. Also, I have read that these gauges can be variable in there readings so mine may be optomistic for 1.2 bar.

Great, thanks for the clarificiation. I have the billet diverters as well. When chipped, I could sustain 1bar max, with spikes to 1.2 as well. As long as I'm not experiencing less than normal boost levels, I'm happy
