Today when giving my car a bit of gas the alarm for the boost controller in the cabin went off. I have recently bought the car and dont really know to much about this boost controller but havent had any issues until know.

I am pretty sure that it is an overboost alarm which is set to 1.4 bar. When the alarm did go off I checked my boost gauge and it only read 1.2 bar. Any idea what would cause this It did not happen in all gears when going flat out and when I heard it I backed of the gas right away.

I drove my car again a bit later and but my foot down in 4th and watched the boost gauge it hit 1.2 bar again and the alarm went off.... The only thing I have done to the car is a but new fuel in the car this morning and 2 I have installed a heat shield for the pods. Not sure if I could have damaged a cable on the air flow sensors or anything else that would cause this.

Any help would be appreciated

      Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again.

      Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.

      Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!

      Could you put a real seat and harness in instead of what looks like leaving your passenger balancing on a milk crate
