Quick question on FVD/Softronic Flash

So fairly new to this... but curious on two questions: (1) I've only seen my car hit 0.9 bar when max'ing acceleration in 1st and 2nd gear (about all I can get to in the streets around me for now until I drive a little further away). I would have guessed 1.1 to 1.2 for an FVD (Softronic) flash? Just wanting to make sure the flash is there. Never drove it stock so I don't have a point of reference in terms of drive and feel.

(2) I have now added a number of other bolt on items since the original flash was done and wondering if it would make sense to have them send me a new file to reflash, or if the original tune would just be enhanced by what I've done. I originally had the dealer do the FVD flash and diverters when I first bought it at the same time. Have subsequently added a few minor power-related mods: Fabspeed Maxflo exhaust, Fabspeed headers, Agency power air intake, box, BMC filter (nothing major like ICs, turbos, etc.).

Thanks!

Most probably one of the pipes connected to the turbos, y-pipe, or intercoolers. I would pull on the boost hoses and see if you have any play in any of them. It's not a sure test, but sometimes you can feel the c-clip not fully set.

How is your idle?

Idle is quiet and smooth. I will do as you suggest. the car is also going in this week for a couple installs so it's probably worth having them take a quick peak around.
thanks!
