Default Boost pressure being weird

Since I had it re-mapped I was using the wrong fuel (didn't realise bp plus wasn't the same as v-power, only use v-power now), however it boosted perfect once I went back to v power. At about 1/4 tank left however boost went back to 0.8 and engine light back on (andy Carr said it was ecu stopping damage to engine with bad fuel) . Refuelled yesterday and dcd battery for 10 mins , engine light off but boost still 0.8. Got in it today boost back to 1.2.

Any ideas? Bad batch of fuel? Or just ecu relearning?

Ash


edit: boost back at 0.8 again,.....
