Default Boost loss???

I notices the other day i wasnt makin as much boost as i usually do, normally full boost is at 1.3 bar i was only gettin 0.7 bar.
On closer inspection it appeared my dump valve was stuck open so i managed to loosen it and spray some wd40 on it an its now fine, however im still only gettin 0.7 bar?? any ideas why???

You may be better off talking direct to your mapper.

The DV could still be the cause. Please tell me it's not a Baileys!

Mainly idle problems, cutting out when coming to junctions and running really rich on idle. Also the boost used to feel funny, kinda like on-off-on.

I have removed the dump valve and it feels like a new car. I think the spring in the Baileys wear out after a while and it looses its ability to keep itself closed etc... I could be wrong but thats what i think anyway.
