The measurement is 2.1 bar absolute, not gauge so it's
actually 1.1 bar gauge. According to my owner's manual
it should boost to just over 2 bar absolute but I only
get 1.8 bar on my S6 automatic. I have made an enquiry
with Audi to find out if the automatics have been
detuned as the owner's manual lists lower power and
lower torque.

The same system is present in the UK urS6.

by 0.3 bar?
