Default Boost fluctuating in fifth

any ideas on this one?

Driving yesterday and if you floor it in fifth the boost fluctuates between 1.2 - 0.8 about a second between the two.

In fourth the fluctuation is present but only just noticeable - fine through all the other gears.

Its a MY99UK, prodrive pack, decat, 107K

Cheers

Its probably your decat causing the issue. The PPP shouldnt boost more than 1.1 bar then it looks like it drops it back to .8 so your overboosting, ppp ecu's dont like decats, 2 options open to you, get a normal ecu/remap or drill the restrictor plug out a little (think its from .9mm to 1.1mm) that will stop the overboosting

You wont notice the engine detting itself into oblivion without a knocklink though plus its also boost related, hitting 1.3 bar on a decatted PPP ecu isnt good hence I saw mine on the knocklink
