Oliver,
Check out http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/
as the boost mapping is decribed there. I am also in Denver and I also see about
1.2 bar when floored in 3rd. At lower elevations it is 1.3 bar. I suspect
strongly that our cars boost is being controlled by the spring ONLY. This should
result in a fault code, but I do not get any fault codes.  Typically, one should
see around 1.4 bar stock, and it should come on around 3K.
