Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

Suggestion
Disconnecting the battery resets the ECU which makes the boost more readily available.
Leading evidence: 'Disconnect battery resets the ecu' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Disconnect battery resets the ecu' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Are you thinking of getting some 'pink' additions then Dave ?
Speaking of which I failed to notice on Sunday the lovely birthday gifts I got you for the car. Can you explain ?

Staurt Martin is the man when it comes to 996 TT's.
Dave, so what was the response on that link, a copy of the text please

Basically the boost will vary between 0.6 bar and 0.8 bar depending on atmospheric and road conditions to ensure 420 BHP is delivered. I have noticed that it seems more "eager" when it is misty and damp, not the ideal time for more power admittedly.
The reason that I originally asked the question was that I have noticed higher readings lately (0.7 and 0.8) rather than the normal 0.6. but according to the PH thread this is perfectly normal. With the X50 pack the boost will go between 0.9 and 1.0 bar.
Chris. The boost gauge is just another option on the OBC where you can flick between MPG, fuel range, outside temperature etc

420bhp car should go up to 0.8 bar.
However, it varies a little on weather conditions.
More boost is easier in winter.
Getting above 0.7 is not so easy.
Disconnecting the battery resets the ECU which makes the boost more readily available.
450 car will get 0.7/0.8 without too much difficulty.
1 bar is possible very occaisionally.
According to some of the tuning sites, the boost presure controller gets tired and peak boost can be less over time.
Not sure if this is true though.
