solution to this was modifying remap and detuning a little and reseting the boost again :)

not high from the research i read between 55-70kg/hr and since this has no cat/egr less restriction for turbo,engine was cold and only run long enough to check live data on airflow. Went for a run with maf disconnected but didn't go far then gonna have another proper run tomorrow to see how she...

boost reached 239.9 according to live data on map sensor but still limped with overboost codes. AAP 106 . Fitted a new maf tonight and air flow at idle up to 69kg/hr from 10kg/hr didn't have chance to test drive though.
