Mike, sorry to hear your issues,hope its not something serious. I have the same question, Does it still pop with 100% race gas and no meth? This might require a different tune. Also if you saw 1.5 bar on the dash gauge it might be 1.3 bar, i read and heard that dash reads high.
Most of us here are running 1.1 to 1.3 bar tunes with race gas.

I find my stock gauge is fairly accurate. I run a Greddy along side and often compare the two. They are usually about the same, I think the OEM gauge either rounds up or down. For instance 1.24 would read 1.2 and 1.28 would read 1.3 - the Greddy reads two decimal points and displays a more accurate number.

there are many cars that are running 1.1 to 1.3 bar on pump gas. So if properly tuned with meth/pump, that was not the problem, however an instantly lean condition during WOT might have been. Like a bad fuel pump, obstructed fuel line, injector, filter, or similar meth system problems. Hopefully it is just a quirk and nothing serious.
Currently on the dyno with....
No lean condition, no knock, no misfire, no lifted heads, no noise.... If I didn't hear the pop'ing last week, I would thing Mike was telling jokes.
Good news, but I still dont like when things "fix themselves".
More testing in the AM!!
