Are these readings taken on the road or standing still ? Try a reading at over  5000rpm in third gear; you should see about 0.7bar from a stock charger in good nick.

These readings are taken while i was on road...
My problem is that my boost was ok before spraying ptfe... After i sprayed ptfe i had less boost presure...
I sprayed 2-3 bursts more than i had to...
Also the hose that is from the down side before CO pontetiometer is on position and it's not cutted...
