And it's pretty clear that very few cars are making only 560 HP. The main reason it's running a higher boost is efficiency not power though . If you change the tune then obviously a lot of power can be had without upping boost.
Seems a bit weird, that would mean the ODB port is reporting incorrect information? From my understanding, other implementations (such as the wireless one that you use apps on your smartphone to see), work the same way?
