Default PearlWhiteS4 this is my final answer - it's GIAC and it SUCKS!

It started out like this:

Then, a friend of mine did some digging:
how many psi is 1.5bar anyway?

Then we looked at

Ver# xxxxxxxxx see pic below. My apologies if i made a typo.

What is cutting the boost at 1.5 bar? The hand of God? I'd like to see where it'd end up otherwise

Hmm, it's almost like your wastegate is slow/sticky or something... odd

Default Wow, I know someone with a 1.2bar GIAC who saw the SAME two spikes at around the SAME RPMs....

We tried my MTM on the same day and saw no spikes. I still have the GIAC data from my VAG-COM:

[note 2500+ mbar at 3600 and 4280]
RPM Load Req Boost Act Boost
3000 91 2280 1060
3160 124.1 2110 1410
3320 175.9 2110 1920
3600 182.7 2100 2520
3840 166.2 2090 2180
4040 173.7 2100 1990
4280 172.2 2080 2500
4520 154.1 2070 2040
4720 182.7 2060 2140
5000 182 2050 2160
5240 169.9 2000 2040
