If you are seeing 1.9 bar on the stock guage and are using a standard Scott
Mo. 1.8 bar chip with the fuel pump cutoff at 1.95 bar, I'm guessing you saw
an overboost.  I had this a couple of times when I first installed Scott's
chip.  I think the spring needs to be broken in a little.  Keep driving it,
and if the probelm persists, you may have a small tear in the WG diaphragm
(assuming you are overboosting).
