UNLESS, your car is NOT stock and has a 1.0 bar flash, that would likely spike to 1.1 or so on a cool night or day...

It's possible that your waste gates are out of adjustment. Stock boost I think is .8 or so for an X50. To be reading 1.1 bar (an extra 4.5 lbs of boost) is a lot for a stock flash. I would be careful.

Did you buy the car new? Some tunes are not detectable. But you can...
-Check for the line/hose going into the passenger side of the y-pipe ahead of throttle body to be in place and not blocked or anything.
-Next you can check to see if the watsegate actuators and connections are looking correct. There are two nuts locking the actuator rod to the wastegate flap on the turbine housing. There should be approx 30mm from the back of the 1st nut towards the front of the car, to the end of the rod (threaded) towards the back of the car. An adjusted or tightened one should be no longer than 35mm.

There is a member here who bought a freshly CPOd car from Sonnen Porshce, but it had a flash! Indeed it was clear the car had been majorly modded (carpet cut from roll bar, etc) yet they still CPOd it. Dealers are total *******s and cannot be trusted on even the most simple things.
There is no requirement that a dealer verify overrevs or error codes from the DME to CPO the car-with good reason: they pull over-revs and they are screwed as you cannot remove them and they own the car. They don't look so they dont know so they can say "we found nothing wrong"
This 1.1... a peakor pretty stable reading?

Peak it seems...third gear pull...it's possible that it was flashed...but everything is bone stock. I wonder what will happen with the EVO DVs I have yet to put on. And, now I wonder what kind of power it is making pushing 1.1 bar.
Also, the distance from the back of the nut to the end of the threaded bolt on the waste gate actuator is 20mm.

That's awesome. My car is a stock besides the BMC filter, silicone hoses, and the modified OEM muffler. I'm about to change out the stock DVs.
It was pulling those Bar #s before I did anything though.

HA! The first day I had it I was blown away. Now I am already thinking, "hey, 450HP just doesn't feel like much anymore. Probably need 600." This is a sickness with no cure...except for more power.
