What did it boost to before ?
I managed to get the boost restrictor pill in the wrong place on re-fitting mine.... for the third time !
See thread - boost restrictor pill (halfway down page 1 !

P.S. Mine goes to 1.55 bar from a rolling start, but never reaches that from a standing start.

dont know just had a boost guage installed to keep an eye on things.Surely 1.5 bar is way too much boost for a standard car?why doesnt it hit fuel cut or is there no cut on later classics?

Try to borrow another gauge, check it is accurate !
Otherwise, I'm no expert on classics, but check out the boost restrictor location in the plumbing...
