So my 951 has been peaking out at 1.5 bar for all the time I have owned it, and I just assumed it was normal. The car seemed pretty fast, but so far I have only put 1000 miles on it. Doing some reading I saw that the 951 is supposed to be at 1.75 bar at 3000 rpm, well it wasnt doing that. So I began readng more and poking around the engine, and soon found that I had a slight manifold leak and my timing valve for the was leaking pressure to the wastegate. I fixed all that and feel like I drove the car for the first time. I punched it in 4th gear had an immediate flip of the boost needle to just under 2 bar and a split second later a surge like I had been rear ended by a freight train. When the boost hits, it goes off like a bomb... thanks porsche!!

Yes, 1.5 bar or more would be insane on a stock 951.

It's the German way of thinking. Normal barometric pressure is 1 bar in standard conditions at sea level, so why not represent boost as the total pressure?
