i don't know why but in every gear ,my opel gt ,build up very fast (until 3000rpm)100 KPa and when in 3 or 4th 110psi but it isn't hiting the old numbers like 125-135 i used to see and also it keeps that 100KPa - 90KPa until the rev limit!
9.400km now on the car and i changed (9.200km)the oil because CHANGE OIL SOON APEARED ON THE DIC
i noticed that earlier but i thought it was becase the oil life was ending and it tried to protect the engine
MY CAR HAS ALL THE LATEST UPDATES,,, AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT THEY HAD TOLD ME
I assume you are not seeing a reading in psi, but kilo pascals. The turbo will not make much more than 20 psi boost. At 135 Kilo Pascals you are at roughly 19.57 psi. At 110 Kilo Pascals, it would be 16 psi of boost. Without additional tuning of the ECU, or modification of the wastegate etc, you are still within the reasonable range for boost on your car.

I wasn't sure what PSI he was talking about. The way he kept mentioning oil, I thought it might have been oil pressure... But the KPa boost theory fits too...

Check the hose at the throttle body, it may be lose or leaking, it will look and appear tight, it is best to pull it off and put it back to make sure.

Or take it to the dealer and tell them you think it's leaking at that hose. If they put a new one on it will have the new style clamp.
thanks that would be very usefull info
but i can't understand what is style clamp and hose do we have a photo??
THANKS GUYZ
about not reaching the ''normal'' pressures, that may happen but yesterday night i tried full acceleration while outside temperature was 25oC which i think is normal

ANY IDEA???
Depending on your altitude, I would think you should be seeing a lot more than 125-135kPa. A little over 100 is pressure at a little over sea level. When I put the DDM stage I SC in my car, my Dashhawk could only display boost in kPa. It was only pushing about 4PSI which was about that 125-135kPa. I forget the exact numbers but I remember figuring it out at about 7kPa per pound of boost over atmosphere. I think you may have had a leak from day one that has gotten worse . If that's the case, boy are you going to be surprised when you get it fixed .
EDIT: OK, looking at those #'s again, I realize your kPa numbers are "above atmosphere". At 7kpa per pound x 20 = 140, so scratch my comment about the leak from day one, but it certainly sounds like you have a boost leak somewhere now.

Yes somewhere there is a problem and tommorrow am going to the dealer ,
when i bought the car i was hiting 135 kpa in every gear (exept 1st) and at 5th i got until 120kpa
something is wrong and none knows
also now i found my car a little harder to spin it (burn some tires) don't know why maybe because of the problem with the boost! my tires now has 10000 km

i took it to the dealer and he had a look at it ... and he told that it seem to be fine no leaking!
he also told me; HAVE NICE VACATIONS .... we will speak again by september
