Probably that GT 2 wing you put on the car. The amount of down force it provides is inversely proportional to the amount of drag it creates.

Temperature? The EGTs I think affect how Sport really hits and last. So if the car is running hot, you may not get that full boost cause your car would then knock? Gas would not affect boost but rather pull timing if the car was knocking. I think for the stock car I saw around .9 - 1.0bar. Also if you have the stock exhaust on there, that is a huge restriction and will keep boost levels down. An exhaust really opens things up. Time for a Softronic ECU Flash
