What turbo? Any fuel cuts? Adequate fueling? Safe EGTs? Any knocklink activity...?

Was the Tek3 done before the exhaust or after? Was it overboosting before the remap, or has it only just started? Is there a manual boost controller? If not, you may need a slightly bigger restrictor in the pipe between your turbo and wastegate actuator. I'd definitely be prioritising the purchase of a knocklink, and soon...

Still dont know what model the car is (wrx, uk or sti?) but hitting just under 1.5 bar doesnt sound good to me
