is it a standard TD04 turbo? Maybe you havent set up your gauge/controller properly as it should be running 14psi(1 bar) standard!

If it is a td04 then thats why... it will taper off near the end of the rpm range...

Yeah... but he shouldnt need to have a boost controller to acheive 14psi with a TD04 to begin with!
