Default Wierd turbo sound.....boost gauge shows levels as high as 1.55 bar!!!!!!!!

This can not be good....no sound with stock chip, just normal turbo whine...with APR chip I get a very loud siren sound...no loose hoses(system has been pressure checked) Stock chip shows .5 bar with spikes of .7 bar...what it should! Runs with the Apr chip showed:
1st gear: 1.1 bar
2nd gear: 1.2 bar
3rd gear: 1.3 bar!!!
4th gear: 1.4 bar!!!!
5th & 6th: 1.55 bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any thoughts?

I don't think "race mode" runs any higher boost - I think it's all timing changes - am I wrong here?

In 6th gear under certain conditions you may get a short term boost of 22+ lbs {1.55bar]. We have seen that with our APR chip many times in 6th gear. Less likely in lower gears due to less load. Joel
