Default Boost Issues on my GC8 Wagon

Not sure if this is the section to post this but here goes...

Yesterday I finally decided to change the rest of my intercooler piping. I had changed half the piping before MV10 and was just too lazy to do the rest.

In doing this I removed the front bumper, front lights, Apexi Power intake, dissconnected air flow meter. I turned the front mount around and then put everything back properly as it was after new piping was replaced.

On test drive I noticed straight up that the car was over boosting something chronic.

My car is a 96 model wagon (EJ207 rebuild) running an Apexi Power FC and Blitz boost controller tuned to 16 psi by GTI Performace centre.

Car just seems to boost beyond 20psi regardless of what presets the boost controller is set too. Even when I turn it to 0 (which should run about 7psi) it still boosts way too much.

Just thought someone on here might have some helpful advice before I make some calls to engine builder and tuning people.

Cheers
Neil.
