Default Boost has dropped from 1.7 to 1.2 bar ?

The car is mapped and holds 1.7 bar but since a trackday it now shoots to 1.5 bar but drops and holds 1.2 bar.

Any ideas chaps

My car has a similar problem, it has a ScoobyECU, which the boost is set at 1.1 bar, but I'm lucky if it reaches 0.8bar, and it don't seem to boost very well

Checked all pipes to intercooler and all other pipes and it turned out to be the boost soly.

Happy again now
