  1. Start with its a 2014 265, stock as far as I know. Problem Im having is with 3rd gear above 5000rpm. 1st, 2nd and 4th gear no issues, boost on RS monitor says 1250-1300 mbar, but 3rd gear it climbs all the way up and eventualy says 1400> mbar (max on the monitor). Im assuming the car is over boosting in 3rd? Why?

    Ive ordered an OBD2 scan tool just waiting for it to arrive. Until then anyone has/had this issue and what was the cause?
     
  2. Update: OBD2 scan shows no codes stored. When scanning I do get a O2 Bank 1 Sensor 1: Test incompete or dependant test failed. Same with Catalyst Monitor Bank 1.

    With the the overall boost pressure in 3rd gear, the OBD2 scanner registered 21.6 PSI = 14.9 bar.

    I was hoping the OBD scanner would give me some inforation or direction but I'm still unsure where to even start.
