HI guys, i think i may have a boost problem. Seat ibiza FR stage 1 remap. When the car is hot the gauge sits at -.8 bar (-11 psi), when i rev it, it moves to -.6 (-6 psi) bar then back to -.8 bar. when im moving and floor it, moves up 1 - 1.1 bar and holds there, does this sound normal because shouldnt it be boosting 1.5 bar (22 psi) thank guys any help appriciated

Sounds about right to me mate.

You wont get any boost when just reving it at standstill because it needs to be under load to produce boost (ie driving). 1-1.2 bar is right for a stage 1 map too.
