The main question, and I'll send an email to TDI is why the boost didn't actually increase? Unlike the JB+, this box reads / maps from the boost sensor, RPM, and air flow. I was really surprised that in Mode 7, the boost was lower(!!) stock in parts. It is possible that the car when into a sort of limp mode due to it being super hot... but I suspect that's unlikely.
I wonder why too. And I had no idea it was that hot there.

If you have an empty stretch of road there, would it be possible to do a quick 0-60 using brake boost/LC? A recording of the speedometer would be helpful
