Rob,

My '89 200 will consistently hold 1.5 bar, and if I don't back off, 
hit 1.6 for a second or two before the fuel pump cutoff is applied by 
the ECU, but I think one of the lines to the wastegate is partially 
collapsed. I know I need to fix it, but I just hate to get rid of 
boost.  I would check the hoses on your car, too.  It may be the 
cause of the overboost. It's not supposed to go over 1.4 stock.
