Yep it's normal, when the weather is this cold, everyone gets a bit of overboost, you could turn the standard pressure down to compensate, or if its safe for you to run oer 1.5 just ignore it.

i think you need your boost turning down abit, if you only have a topmounted intercooler then it is very dangerous.
speak to your mapper asap to check its gonna be ok, as one high speed run may kill your engine.

That's a bit too much of an overboost. My high boost setting (power fc) is 1.4 and once only I've seen 1.5 bar on a damp cold evening. Usually it will overboost to 1.45 max, then drop back to hold at 1.4. From the sounds of it you're overboosting by 20% before dropping back?
